I enjoyed this. You obviously had to think quick when she asked the question - and lucky it wasn't a joke that you then had to talk your way out of. Sometimes the cards fall our way.

I am delighted you enjoyed SURPRISE. Indeed, the narrator was lucky and I think he knows it. Thank you for sharing.

Dear Writer,
Oh those people who packed the fruit basket, they took care of everything! Maybe Angela will reciprocate even more, at least that is what your main character hopes. (LOL) A good, positive, flash fiction piece.
Happy Valentines Day,
Winslow

Oh. He didn't see the card first? What a "surprise" but not for the trainer but the narrator who was just giving a nice thank you gift. Hope he's not married! Fun story!

Thank you so much for your praise of my shortie, lyenochka. You are the only reviewer so far who has caught the irony of the card.

This is so darn cute. I guess next time better check out the fruit basket for hidden card within. (Just kidding.) Good luck in the contest with this super entry. Marilyn

Glad you enjoyed my shortie, Marilyn. After spending so much time lately beginning a new novel, It was fun to write.
-
Are you posting the chapters of your new novel here, Rod?
-
It?s doubtful, Marilyn. I prefer to share my poems and short prose here. Rod

An expression of love comes in so many ways and says so many different things. It sounded as though this expression was meant quite differently than its intention but the love between family, the love between friends or the love people generously give to each other with a smile, a brief encounter or even a fruit basket. It's all good. :)

We do wonder what his real motive for the gift was, don't we? I am delighted you enjoyed this short-short. Thank you for sharing.

This sounds like a fruitful romance! He'd have been a bit daft not to have seen all those hearts scattered about in the basket. LOL An entertaining 50-word dash.

It must be early on in your personal training....after a while you scream as they make you do one more searing pain squat....so glad she agreed.
Lol
Soon you'll be a basket case
God bless

Yes, a PT can make your work-out hellish. I think Angela will be more pleasant to work with now, don't you? Thanks for sharing my short-short.

Well this certainly is a perfectly themed 50 word story entry. A basket of fruit for Valentines Day. A very healthy gift to give one's personal trainer. Let's hope it was shared... on their first date perhaps : -) Nice job on this entry. Good luck! ~DD
