This week’s prompt is a photo from Lora Mitchell. My story is below.
CITY GIRL
Exiting the board room at 6:03, she rushed to her office. The light out, she walked to her window, now gently bathed in a light shower. Aaaahhhh! Tension instantly drained away as she feasted on her favorite view — her city — alive, gorgeous, teeming with energy and renewal. It was in her heartbeat.
Brent couldn’t comprehend. Always a country boy, he insisted Kate could be happy in his world. Since his proposal, a new plant arrived daily — pressing her. Today’s lily blocked her view. Tossing it into the receptacle, she leaned against the window — happy.

Ahh. The mixing of 2 different worlds. Hard work, but sometimes worth it. Very good.
I’d be him. 🙂

Well, I’m one of these complicated people who can’t make up her mind. I love the country — for all of it’s obvious reasons — and I love the city as well. I’ve lived lengthy periods in both,and they both have a great deal of appeal for me. Just can’t seem to choose — so I guess that’s why I’m living in a small town surrounded by large areas of country. Splits the difference.
Dear Sandra,
Doesn’t sound like a match made in heaven. She’s definitely city girl…good title. A really nice read.
shalom,
Rochelle
Dear Sandra,
Your story was perfect and leaves little hope for a match for those two. Good job.
Aloha,
Doug
Great story, can’t make my mind up either.
When in the country I want to stay, in the city I’m happy too…
Best of both worlds would be good

Oh my…poor Brent. I hope she lets him know.
Brent tries to say it with flowers instead of the correct words or right actions. Some women wnat more than a plant.
That’s true, but in this case, I don’t think any words would be enough. When you’re in love with a city, you’re just not going to take root happily in the country. I’ve had the privilege of living for long periods of time in both kinds of places, and I love both — for their respective reasons. My problem is NOT being able to decide WHICH I like more.
Thanks for reading and taking the time to comment, Joe.
