Fine dining 101 for peasants
#WritcoStoryChallenge
The setting was perfect. Candlelight, polished cutlery and a single rose set in a delicate vase at each table. The type of perfection that gives birth to a premature pessimism. "Its too good to be true" we say and find ugly comfort, a safe haven for our hearts.
Wet fingertips put out candlelights, willfully blinding the eyes of our hearts to any reflection of the love we long for. Fine dining is not a luxury peasants can afford, we're not even spared a single delicate rose petal. All we can afford are the bitter stings and tears by single Rose's thorns.
