Labour of Love - #FlasherFictionFriday

Every week, an amazing group of writers get inspired by a picture. Each has 100 words, no more, no less, to come up with their version which they do so well. Please click here to find the others and show them some love by reading. As always comments are much appreciated.


Labour of Love

This was it. Five years together and Sharon was sure Kyle was finally going to propose. When he woke up and handed her the anniversary present, her heart sank. The gift box was too big even for the size of diamond she had in mind. She faked a smile as she lifted the lid to find bits of coloured paper inside.

"It took me years to do this. Legend has it that one thousand origami cranes will bring a long and prosperous marriage. Will you marry me?"

"Of course!"

Who needed diamonds when a girl had such a devoted partner?
