Maybe you could change out a couple ‘suite’ s to room, or accommodation, or bedroom, or something, but otherwise, this was full of tasty description. :)
@ElshaHawk: Thanks for the feedback! I prefer a solid critique over an empty compliment, especially from someone whose work I have enjoyed.
While you make a salient point, and while following your suggestion would improve the writing on a technical level, I feel that to do so would diminish the story’s suitability for the challenge. It was meant to explore linguistic nuances, and I chose to explore various meanings, homonyms, and near-homonyms (“better suite” for “bittersweet”) of “bitter” and “sweet”.
