Thank you. Not sure where this one came from - it just sort of grew from the picture.

I write that way when I lose my inspiration - find a photo and create a story around it.

Hats off for the beautiful descriptions of the location/setting, before we learn about Celia and the dynamic she enjoyed with her husband. Could he really have engineered this woman to be here, a temptation and a vehicle for Celia's pleasure and satisfaction -- a tryst and eye candy to soothe his soul? It's a sexy daydream for sure.

I picked up on the implication that they played with other girls, I wonder if you're going to expand this story at some point, if Celia might find another way to quench her 'widow's fire'?
