The prompt: He held her close before telling her the terrible news
My story:
Fredrick’s heart pounded
as he waited Mr. Gardner’s decision. The old man looked him over, clearly
assessing him. Painful seconds ticked by. “No,” he said at last.
“But, sir,” Fredrick
began. Gardner glared at him. “If you would please reconsider.”
“My answer is no, no
amount of gutless begging will convince me to change my mind. Now get off my
land.”
Fredrick snatched his
hat and left with haste. He went to the garden where he knew Georgine waited. The
hopeful look in her eyes crushed him. He held her close before telling her the
terrible news. “He said no.”
