Drabble of the Week
Feb. 23rd, 2024 01:35 pmChallenge words: arrogant, conventional, convert, crash, overeat, private
“Victor Marton is arrogant. He’ll make a mistake.” Illya scraped up his last bite of dessert and glanced across the table. “Aren’t you going to finish that?”
“The conventional wisdom is that arrogance leads to errors, at least for most mortals. And, no.” Napoleon looked regretfully at his barely touched blueberry cheesecake. “If I overeat, I’ll regret it. How do you convert calories to brain power, not fat?”
“It’s a gift.” Illya’s eyes sparkled as he reached for the plate.
“No time.” A crash resounded from the private club’s kitchen, and Napoleon grinned at his partner’s pout. “That’s our signal.”
