Hump Day Kick Start – Lounge and Longing Edition

Song of the Day: Asking Too Much by All That Remains

Hump Day Kick Start – for your muse, a writing picture prompt, or just a visual treat.

Since I’m in New Orleans this week, I thought this picture was a great prompt. The scenery of the room reminded me of a Southern sitting room.

So who is our couple? Is she a docent of historic plantation home? Is he the groundskeeper? A tourist who happened into a private part of the home? Who seducing whom? Maybe she’s the daughter of a wealthy county judge and he’s a con artists working his way into the family. Or are the roles reversed? Is he trying to win her back after a terrible misunderstanding? Could he be a lonely bachelor trying to convince her to stay with him for one more night?

Your turn. I’d love to hear your take.
