The Business Trip
…Seemed to have fringe benefits
Today’s drabble challenge word is accountant.
Today’s drabble challenge twist is to end the drabble with: and that was the last thing I remember.
Drabbles are short — only (and exactly) 100 words. Take half a minute or so to read, highlight, clap, and comment so I know you’ve been here! Thank you!
When Tessa strutted into the hotel bar in her long leather boots, I was hooked. Over cocktails, I impressed her with some white lies to make myself more interesting.
Dinner was quick.
“I have a big meeting in the morning,” she explained.
“So do I,” I said. “Boring, though, not big. Some goody-goody tax accountant wants me to justify my creative business write-offs.”
She laughed and I reached for her hand.
Turns out her big meeting was my boring one.
They introduced the tax auditor in her long leather boots and that was the last thing I remember.
(And yes, Tessa’s name backwards, is Asset… Make of that what you will.)
Thank you for reading my drabble. Feel like creating your own? Come and join in.
