A Very Big Promise

God I hate your parents! 

Your Dad's an asshole. He'll never say yes. 

Promise? 

You faked it; I did it. Thanks, loverboy. Your turn so we can finally hook up. 

Will this work? 

This is my take on a more modern day pre-inlaw thing and an argument between a young couple about their families. 

Yes, I have a healthy obsession with this fated couple. Poor kids. Why so dramatic? Well it was 1340 Italy. 

Romantic? Love the "love at any cost" thing but really? 

Thanks to Trifecta Writing Challenge for the challenge to tell a fable, book, poem or famous story in 33 words...My Way! Actually, I haven't figured out much.

Thanks for linking up to this weekend's Trifextra Challenge. I was wondering how many of these we'd get, but was surprised! I love this--sounds like conversations overheard at the bus stop. Nicely done. Hope to see you back for the weekday challenge.

My other choice was Rapunzel. Thanks for reading.

That's what I was going for...a casual argument! You bet I'll be doing the weekday challenges. It's all very fun.
