Welcome friends, followers, and Weekend Writing Warriors!
Continuing with sentences from ‘Love is a Masterpiece’ this week. Cassandra and her mother have come to the park, where Cassandra’s supposed to meet Geoffrey and other couples are lining up.
“It seems soon to be proving your love,” the man with the pocket-watch said. “But I wish you the best of luck.”
Cassandra nodded politely, and stepped sideways, just a little out of the line, to check for Mother. She was already nearly out of sight, just rounding the corner where the line of waiting couples approached the shallow canal. This might be her best shot. Cassandra hitched up the hem of her dress a little and ran for the busy street on the edge of the park. There would be horseless hansoms there, and she had a little money. She wasn’t sure where she would go, but the longer she could stay away from here . . .

Run girl, run! Yep, she needs her own adventure, not one her mother has planned. Can’t wait to see where she ends up.

Not quite sure what she’s running from, but she obviously doesn’t agree with what her mother has planned.

This is not going to end well when Mommy Dearest finds out she’s gone. o.O
Still, I’m rooting for her escape, even if it doesn’t seem well thought out.
