The Ragtag Daily Prompt this morning: SPIN
And Sammi’s Weekend Writing Prompt:
Repercussions
“You can put a positive spin on this if you like, but you really blew it,” Benton told his friend. “Apologies and roses might help.”
Dillon, still unrepentant, protested. “She said, ‘Be completely honest.’ I thought she wanted the truth, so I said her friend’s right: that dress does look sleazy. And she blew up.”
Benton patted Dillon’s arm. “You just failed your first lesson in Understanding Women 101.”
Here’s a mini-verse to go with it…
complete honesty
how many friendships
shattered
