And now my 100 word story:

Wine always made her giddy; giddy in a way that men adored. Her latest fling was a record breaker. They had been together 8 months. He was annoying but the sex was fantastic and he was an awesome cook.

He made a light Italian meal for their first (and only) Valentine’s Day together. He had learned she was friskier on a stomach barely coated with food and laced with alcohol.

They finished their first bottle and he stored their last course for later. He would need the time to recharge.

Sangria, strawberries, and chocolate sauce, was the dessert of fantasies.

  24. I could see the little black dress, pumps and a sangria in hand with that lady. I wonder how high-maintenance she was. “Lord, what fools these mortals be.”
