Hey all. This is my first shot at writing a story like this. This is a fantasy of my own. I don’t understand it very well, so I figured I’d write it out and see what happened. I still don’t understand it very well, but here goes:
Melanie’s Birthday
“Don’t worry about tonight — I’ve got it all taken care of!”
Colton hoped he’d reassured his wife, Melanie, with the text message. In the past, Colton had thrown together plans at the last minute, so Melanie was justified in being worried. This was her 35th birthday, and last year Colton didn’t even take her out because he didn’t get a sitter in time. This year was different, though. Colton really had been planning for weeks. He’d lined up a babysitter for the kids, made dinner reservations in advance, and had already reserved and prepared a hotel room at the General, one of the nicest hotels in town. He really wanted Melanie to feel special this year.
