Thank you to Rochelle for hosting and J Hardy Carroll for the photo
For five long years they had shared short moments of elation followed by periods of deepest despair. But today day things were different. Today she smiled. He smiled. They knew beyond doubt it was definitely over. The end of a difficult relationship. With laughter in their voices, they said as one, ‘I never want to see you again!’

Hi Keith - oh yes ... that's been said - a job finished with and a problem over ... she can move on and he can stop worrying, and close that part of the file. Cheers Hilary
ReplyDeleteThat's true Hilary. Thanks for dropping by.
DeleteThere are relationships we should leave with a smile on our faces... great twist in the end.
ReplyDeleteCheers mate!
DeleteWell, that's a happy ending *smiles*
ReplyDeleteWe all like a happy ending don't we? !!
DeleteI'm confused. Why is she in the waiting room?
ReplyDeleteShe had been visiting her doctor for five long years, and today she got the all clear. So off she went rejoicing! Sorry to confuse you Patricia
DeleteNice one! I didn't look at the photo first, so that ending came as a great little twist.
