Restoration Task

PHOTO PROMPT @ A. Noni Mouse

She walked in the kitchen and contemplated the restoration task before her.

It was a stereotypical bachelor’s pad when she visited.  Unmade bed, clothes on the floor and dirty dishes in the sink.  Only his smile and the fact that he could converse had prevented her from leaving.  Her previous dates had been handsome but inarticulate men. She moved in with him even though it had been a mission to clean the house.

That relationship ended the moment he betrayed her with a stranger.

 Before she left, she restored the house to the same mess as she had found it.

      Thanks for your comments Iain. She just wants to leave him the way it always was.

    Too flipping right! If it had been me, I'd have left it in a worse state. :)

    Some people just don't recognize a good thing when they have it. I like the way your story ended. Leave the trash behind...

    I am wondering why she cleaned up in the first place. But glad she woke up finally :)
