Ostentatious

Title: Ostentatious
Rating: PG
Summary: He took her to a cafe in Venice to break up with her.
Warnings: manipulation.
Notes: Confluence of stuff.


Mike took her to a café in Venice to break up with her. Typical. He overdid everything; one of the reasons she'd chosen him. Yvonne wept, and sorted through her options.

"I'm sorry," he said, frantically patting her hand, "it's just that I can't leave my wife, you know that, and she's starting to get suspicious."

"What will I do without you?" she sobbed. "I love you so much!" Go to Paris, buy some nice dresses, find a new lover...

"I'm sorry," and he actually looked sorry. Interesting. "What can I do?"

The magic words. Yvonne stopped crying, and smiled.
