“He’s coming!”
Wendy turned off the lights and giggled. This would be an epic surprise for her husband. She had told him she had an unavoidable meeting and they would have to celebrate his birthday on another night. Now sixteen friends and co-workers waited in the dark.
Mark’s car glided into driveway. The guests hushed. Two car doors slammed, and the front door opened.
Wendy turned on the lights. “Surprise! Happy birthday, big guy!”
Everyone applauded and cheered for Mark, who stood with his tie loosened, one hand holding a bottle of wine and the other around his divorce attorney JoAnn.
When I read that TWO car doors slammed I knew that this would be the last time Wendy planned a birthday party for him. LOL. Good story!
I knew there was a reason I don’t like surprises. I enjoyed this story.
Nice twist by chance
It wasn’t wine, it was Wild Turkey!
Thanks for the support! This was fun to write. I am not a fan of surprises myself.
I’m such a sucker for voltas or surprise endings. Good work.
Well done !
