Grammie announced that she would hold a Formal Spring
Tea Bridal Shower for Clarisse and Samuel.
“Oh, they have been friends since pre-school! Imagine our two families together!”
Nana shook her head. She has
no idea, none at all. Samuel AND
Clarisse-the-she-devil? God help us…she choked at the possibilities.
The day came with the frippery and frivolity that
only Grammie could create. It was as if a
Smurf and Pepto-Bismol had smashed into each other. Guests held comments with great restraint,
smiling at the lovely bride. Being at
Grammie’s hosted events meant that respect, true or false, was
expected.
Clarisse rigidly held back, as if coated in royal
icing. Oh, Samuel…how could you let me fall for this?
As if reading her thoughts, an airplane
flew overhead, pulling a long banner. Clarisse
squinted to read the message.
Clarisse, I love you!
Get the Hell outta there! Samuel
And Clarisse threw off her heels, taking off at a
run. Samuel waited on a Harley,
revved-up and ready to go. In your face, Grammie!
The sites listed below are my intro to a long running character, Samuel, a brilliant sociopath.

One can only hope that in the fullness of time Samuel and Clarisse have children who are also rebels. If they were to have 'grey cardigan' children it is hard to know who know who would suffer most.
ReplyDeleteIt is bound to happen. "Grey cardigan" children--superb description!
DeleteSamuel to the rescue! On the best bike ever!
ReplyDeleteLike EC, I hope they have rebel children who will keep the world guessing just as much as they themselves do.
One can only wonder if they can stay one step ahead of the brilliant sociopath children.
DeleteSamuel....all grown up and scarier than ever. Sigh...I guess he HAD to grow up eventually didn't he?
ReplyDeleteThe way of all children, I guess. Samuel will have to tone down his natural destructiveness to pay the bills.
Deletehaha still causing trouble all grown up, as they ride away
ReplyDeleteWhat happens next?
DeleteThe perfect match
ReplyDeleteA match made in heaven? Maybe?
Deleteoh my grammie's not going to be happy w/the outcome. I'm just saying. :)
ReplyDeleteGrammie never ever learns. But Nana, on the other hand, is fully aware.
DeleteMade for each other?
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely! They have a history together.
