In a Single Moment

by Imogen Clark

It would be all right as long as Donna didn’t look at her like she had done the night before. She could deal with another row, even a humdinger of one. It might clear the air between them. What she couldn’t bear, though, was the rejection that she’d seen in Donna’s face. That had hurt more than anything Donna had said.

But it was out now. There was no putting the genie back in the bottle.

It was amazing how a few days away made everything seem exciting and full of possibility where previously it had been humdrum or burdensome.

It would be all right, she told herself. Everything was going to be all right. She just wished she could believe that.
