Charli’s Carrot Ranch prompt this week:
February 14, 2019, prompt: In 99 words (no more, no less) write a story about valentines. It can be Valentine’s Day, the exchange, love for another, romance, or friendship. Have a heart and go where the prompt leads!
Valentine’s Day
Ritu 2019
For her, every day was Valentine’s day.
No, seriously, it wasn’t all about the mushy hearts and flowers rubbish that the rest of the world immersed themselves with on February 14th.
Valentine was a very demanding man.
He expected to be waited on hand and foot constantly, by his wife.
Sheila was forever in the kitchen, cooking up delights, or serving drinks, laundering clothes, physical needs: basically anything that he demanded, she fulfilled.
But this year he was in for a surprise.
This Valentines day, Sheila was walking out of that house, and reclaiming her life finally.
Self care.
But I Smile Anyway...

Any relationship that one sided needed to be dismantled or is that dethroned?
For some everyday is Valentines day because they are equal partners. 🙂

Yes, too much focus on ‘love’ can make people in difficult situations on Valentine’s Day feel even worse – this is one of those tales that needed to be told in this season!

It is very commercialised, it’s true, though who doesn’t like a card or flowers….
