I could easily imagine the intrigue you painted - loved the mask - and what a clever turn, the same scent!<br />Great job!<br /><br />About Pierre - he dumped Yvette but isn't dead.

A couple of words I'm not sure about useage - eg should 'sudden' be 'suddenly'? I would have thought 'Suddenly she was aware that the balcony...' but maybe I'm seeing it differently.<br /><br />Thank God for masks, Denise Covey https://www.blogger.com/profile/07106490051555233439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4233495210852135611.post-80883698433233299772011-05-27T20:01:12.748+01:002011-05-27T20:01:12.748+01:00Hello again Francine.

It would be funny if she found the guy wearing the aftershave, thought it was Rick, said something provocative, and it wasn't him! This was a fun piece - hinting at a back story, and open-ended as to where it will lead. :)Lihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08831231531918915804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4233495210852135611.post-41004203391955674382011-05-27T09:47:22.564+01:002011-05-27T09:47:22.564+01:00Oh the intrigue!
