He entered the room, a bit reluctant, but the waft of her perfume drew him in. As soon as he saw her voluptuous smooth skin in an impossibly daring dress, her scintillating presence overtook any hesitation.

1. Cranberry orange muffins – I like a sweet-tart combination

2. Any cupcakes from a bakery with lots of frosting but I prefer a layer cake to cupcakes.

3. Any muffins with fruit—blueberry, strawberry, except bananas.

4. Hostess cupcakes—now don’t throw anything😄 My story is when I was a child I saved my ten cents each week for the Hostess bakery truck that came to our farm. I loved these cupcakes. My mom was a cook and a baker extraordinaire but these were a special treat.

5. Applesauce spice cupcakes with cracked caramel icing.

Today’s prompt: Use “beneath the evergreen” in any form of writing

***

A simple elegance, alone or in a group, evergreens. From light to dark, all shades stand proud, some shedding cones for the future. Balsam, fir, pine, cedar, spruce—scents to transport you to fantasy lands usually dreamed of by children. I am no child but breathing in a forest is a distinct pleasure, beneath the evergreen.

Note: after multiple attempts trying to get my story in proper format, I finally copied in a photo to get it here. Is anyone else having problems with formatting – bold, italics, etc?😵‍💫

The depiction of a red jasper ligament in the quartz based ring glowed in reflection of the fire pit. Envy dripped across the hostess’ smile and she leaned against the porch rail pole, going over her plan to steal it.

Elizabeth had been planning this for a while, ever since she learned of this coveted ring, and its powers of strength and healing. Conventional medicines were not working and it was a conversation of two doctors, overheard, that led her to believe her guest’s antique ring would be the answer.

The tricky part was over, finding the woman who owned the ring, and subsequent dinner invitation. After her guest finished her wine, there would be no need to fly into a fight to thrash the ring from her hand. The woman would simply quietly fall into a sleep and awake as if nothing happened. A fake ring would be substituted.

After a few weeks, Elizabeth noticed no change in her health, and realized it must have been the ring’s power was for one particular woman’s healing, not Elizabeth’s. She sat back, resolved at last to her fate, listening to the lyrics of “Nobody Does it Better” by Carly Simon.
