Charts and optimal dates and preferential temperatures. One line or two. As if she could summon whatever it is that makes up the human soul as easily as she could a cab on a busy New York avenue.

Not my usual fare, obviously, but I accepted the challenge of to pair with someone for Trifecta’s anniversary, and this is my part. The prompt is the first part, in italics. We were challenged to continue the story. My partner is kgwaite, and I can’t wait to see her continuation!

This is a cool start! I like the little black book idea. Can’t wait to see how it finishes!
I like where you’re going. Always love to read how people take off on an idea.
Ooh . . . a little black book. 😉
Yes, love the black book filled with the passage of time. Also wide open for part 2.
Intriguing start…I can’t guess where part 2 will take this. Thank goodness I don’t have to wait a full week to find out 🙂

Fantastic start! I love the book filled with the passing of time. I can’t wait to see how your partner finishes it!
ohh. Very interesting. Cant wait to see where this goes.
Nice work! I like how open you left it for your partner, and having read part two think you both did a great job with the prompt.
I really love this piece. I think it’s one of the strongest individual pieces we got this week. The last sentence is really powerful. Thanks for helping us celebrate!
