A captivating story, Luna. Reminds me a little of one of my favorite movies, "Before Sunrise," with Ethan Hawke, about a young couple who meet on a train and spend one evening together. Then, in "Before Sunset," the sequel, they meet again 9 years later. Very romantic!

Hi All thanks so much for the comments!

Reena, it's so difficult to condense things in just 100 words! It's meant to be a fiction about this woman who had a online/phone fling before she got married to another man. During the fling time they fixed a date to meet after 10 years, but with time they lost touch and the woman got married, started a family, moved overseas. The guy, however, remembered, and turned up at her family home 10 years later. :) if you want to know what happens next, you have to let us write more words! hehe

Hopefully the sister is single and they get together for that date.

Ah, you can write more words for another challenge, or just to satisfy your audience. Loved it Luna!

Great story and I did wonder was there a husband in the wings, or did they divorce or what. But someone suggested the possibility the sister might be available and since you said there's a husband I hope the man with the rose and the sister fall in love. This was a good one. I liked it a lot.

Hi everyone! thanks so much for the nice comments. I was away on a trip for a few days and didn't have access to the internet. So could not check your comments before. :)

Hi Luna
That was a great story even though you only had a 100 words available.

Hmmm...he waited 10 years. Some guy. Some story to tell hubby.
Telling such high impact stories in a limited number of words takes great skill.
Well done.

So much life packed into so few words. I especially your enjoyed your comment that if we want to know more, you need to be allowed more words. But, truly, that isn't necessary. You let us continue the story in our minds.
