Hello, and welcome to this weeks Blog Chat. I'm glad that you have a few minutes to stop by after visiting with Victoria Barbour on her website  http://victoriabarbour.com/blog  I'm sure what she had to write was amazing.

This weeks challenge was for everyone to create a piece of "flash fiction", not more than 150 words, using the words scarf, chocolate and candle. I decided to dig a little deeper into one of my secondary characters from my latest completed manuscript, "Trying for Par". Adara is a love interest of my hero Donovan, but she breaks his heart, and he is determined never to fall in love again... until he meets our heroine, Tiffany Jones. But, that's enough preamble.

Here is my 150 word flash fiction - I hope that you enjoy it.

--------------------------------------

Adara wound the scarf around her head, and stepped out into a London fog that threatened to undo all of Philippe’s hard work. She waved farewell to her favorite hairdresser as he stood on the stoop, blowing a kiss. She laughed, and pulled her jacket collar tighter against the damp.

The fragrance of warm, melted chocolate sliced through the misty air, and she paused. Where was it coming from? Of course, that cute little pastry shop on the corner. Careful not to spear her new stiletto heels between the cobblestones, Adara picked her way across the street to admire the display of pastries. A glance toward the darkening sky confirmed that she had no time to stop and savor one of the éclairs.

As she hurried along the narrow alley, the gaslights planted along the street glittered like tiny candles, pricking the early evening gloom. She was now officially late.
