My Story:
Near Perfection
By Scott L Vannatter
October 26, 2012
The table was simple, yet elegant. He had seen to it all.
The waiter was polite; the food exquisite. Celina was almost overwhelmed by the attention. Two years together and Joel was even better.
She didn’t know what could make the night more perfect.
Then, she tried to put some sugar in her tea. None would come out.
She shook the container harder, but it was no use. She needed sugar with the tea.
She gave up and took off the lid. The plastic bag fell out. When opened, the ring glistened. Joel took it and dropped to one knee.

This gave me the tingles. Like the others, I didn’t expect the surprise ending. How clever and romantic of him. (really of you). Nice work.

Aw…a sweet story. You roped me in, Scott. I thought we were heading to another practical joke with the sugar pouring out everywhere. Nice surprise, especially for Celina.

That was so sweet. I’m ashamed to admit my mind was running along the lines of a bag of heroin or coke. No romance in my soul, I guess. Nicely done.

Well if that’s still only near perfection then she’s a tough nut to crack. Now it’s all downhill from here 😉 Well written.

Lol the near perfection was supposed to be that the sugar wouldn’t work but all else was perfect. I like yours better!

Hi Scott,
“Sugar is sweet, my love, but not as sweet as you.” A saccharin tale, with a happy ending. Well done! Ron
