Clara's luck may be turning around. Daniel seems like a cool fellow. To the happy couple. Nice post.

Here’s an idea. Pick up the story and continue it in your style/vision. Let’s see what happens.

You are a menace for ending the story there. I was completely pulled into Clara and Daniel's weird tender gravity toward each other and then suddenly... nothing. 🥵 Also, “I got very good at becoming whatever looked beautiful from across the room" is such a killer line.

Menace? Me? 😬

I loved reading this. You have a talent for setting the energy of the story. I almost tasted that martini. Cheers!

Well thank you! I really appreciate hearing that.

Let’s get you a story. Name a place, a drink, and a piece of clothing.

How to narrow it down?! And do I go obscure or something that naturally goes together? Ok, let’s go with what just popped in my head…ranch in Texas, champagne, high heels

Oh how fun! I wasn’t really expecting a story, but you delivered. So thanks for making my day. I enjoyed reading it. 🍸
