A Drabble is a work of fiction that is exactly 100 words — no more. No Less.

Today’s Twist: Story must be based on the image in the prompt below:

If my story resonates with you, I’d love to hear your thoughts and relish your applause. I’d love to know you were here ☘️

Liaison (leɪ-eh-zon or LOOK AT THOSE LEGS)

Origin: French lier ‘to bind’ — like the bond I imagine forming between her shapely legs and her dress hem as the breeze teases it upwards.

1️⃣ collaboration — typically formal. Or informal, please !… OH MY WORD, LOOK AT THOSE CALVES!

📖 ‘The departments maintained a professional liaison’ … Has anyone noticed her walk? A GAZELLE. IN HEELS.

2️⃣ secret romancenothing like the one I could have with her!

📖 ‘Their illicit liaison was discovered’… WHILE MINE STILL ACHES TO BEGIN.

Synonyms: Nothing compares!
