Saturday Centus: Grenade!

It is time for the next Saturday Centus inspired by Jenny Matlock's prompt which will appear in bold in the 100 word piece.  This week the prompt is a line from the Bruno Mars song, Grenade.



Wedding over, guests departed, the couple sat on the bed together, elated, exhausted, in love, confused, MARRIED!

"So, we did it!"

"Yes, we did!"

"It was a wonderful wedding..."

"Yes.."

"Are you happy?"

"Beyond words...you know, I'd catch a grenade for you.."

There was silence....then she knew she had made the right decision.

"I would catch one for you too."

    This was a sweet one for sure! It was an evil prompt to work with, but you did it with style!!

    That's very sweet. I was hanging in, nervously, for a moment before she said she would too. Thanks for bringing a smile to my face.

    I loved how sweet this was.

    The one I wrote that never go around to posting had something similar going but then an actual grenade so it was cynical and mean.

    I like the sweet version wayyyy better.

    Thanks for a sweet little gem of a story here.
