Love the dialog, don’t like the “dour grey” adjectives repeated so close together though. Overall flow is exceptionally done & the last paragraph opens up lots of possible directions for the story to go. Very very well done here!

I like it, a bit of real life marital drama, with what seems like a throw-away remark about fairy gold that turns out to be very telling. Great job on the challenge.

this one is definitely second place. awesome job =D
