LJ Idol, Season 9: Week 2 - "The Missing Stair"

[roina_arwen]

I'm not sure who saw whom first on that lazy Spring afternoon at the park, but when my blue eyes met his warm, dark brown ones for the first time, I knew I was lost. His strong, muscular chest, well-toned legs, and sly smile won my heart, but I was shy and I suppose he was too. I kept glancing towards the maple tree where he sat in its cool shade

Damn that was nice! You even showed me the quote, but I didn't expect that ending.

Brava.

[roina_arwen]

Awesome - thank you!

Ahhhhhh, nicely laid threads in this. Definitely picked up on where it was going to go, but it was still delightful! :)

[roina_arwen]

Thank you! I tried to put in enough clues without overdoing it - it's a bit of a balancing act. I'm glad you enjoyed it, and thanks for commenting!

I rarely write the darker side - nobody expects it from me. I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Ha! I expected her to be the critter....

[roina_arwen]

Ha! Thanks for reading!

The last few paragraphs definitely took me by surprise! And then there was yet another twist after that. Well done.

[roina_arwen]

Thank you! I was feeling especially twisty this week!
