First Line Friday, March 26/21 – Taste of Lace

It is First Line Friday! Welcome, and let’s get writing.

Below is the first line, and you get to write the rest. This prompt alternates with Jim’s Music Prompts, so make sure to check back next Friday for some musical inspiration.

The first line is provided, and you get to write whatever comes afterward. Length, genre, and structure are completely up to you. Feel free to modify the line as you see fit, adding punctuation, quotes, or other bits if so desired. No need to tie it to the picture, unless you want to.

Include the first line, of course. Tag it Mindlovemisery’s Menagerie, First Line Fridays, and Short Fiction. Create a link (ping-back) to the post and add your link to Mister Linky.

The Line: “It only takes a little bit of lace to ruin a marriage.”

My Submission:

It only takes a little bit of lace to ruin a marriage.

She meant to show it off, just a smidgen, a taste. Her tips at the pub doubled on the days she exhibited her upper thigh, and that little bit of lace. 

What she didn’t realize, 

Were the consequences.
