Six Sentence Sunday - Everything I Ever Wanted

I'm posting early, and reading on Monday, because Sunday is Mother's Day. For everyone who stops by over the weekend, thank you! I'll stop by on Monday.


Samantha and Mac are co-workers, and temporary roommates after he loses his apartment in a hurricane. She's just gotten off the phone with her ex-fiance. In tears, she asks Mac why Joseph doesn't love her anymore.

"I've never had someone look at me like that. Love me like that. He's a fool, Sam. He had everything a man could want, and he didn't just lose you, he took your for granted and threw you away without ever realizing what he had."

"What did he have?"

"Perfection."

    Mac just said what every woman in Sam's position wants to hear--the problem's not you, it's him. Great six! And Happy Mother's Day!

    Jenna - Happy Mother's Day to you too! (I'm sneaking on while I eat breakfast - I'm such an internet addict!)

    Chrystalla - Ya think? There might be a heavy dose of unrequited love there.

    Sounds like the roommate situation isn't going to be temporary for long! Gotta love a guy who knows the right answers.
