Secret Bubbles
Only five minutes, Anne dashed into the emporium.
I sat in the car, waiting.
Across the street, Sharon was blowing bubbles to attract customers into her toy shop.
I waved, she smiled and puckered her lips suggestively, then blew more bubbles from her fancy pipe.
We are close friends and I snickered at her crude innuendo.
An hour passed. Where is she? At last.
Anne was flushed with a new hairstyle, glowing skin and painted nails.
No clothes?
No time. They have a secret make-up room.
We drove off. I saw Sharon blow a kiss.
Well, we all need secrets.

I doubt any of the secrets are well kept! I like the scene you created. I can see Sharon and her playful bubble making and the amused character waiting in the car.

Dear James,
This left me wanting to know more. By “no clothes” I’m assuming she didn’t buy any new ones. I’d hate to think of her streaking to the car. 😉
Shalom,
Rochelle

Unlike bubbles that burst, if you have a secret how do you know that no one else knows, but keeps secrets safe.

A patient man though to drive her and then wait.
