Is That a Mirror? What Do You See? Hopefully not Maleficent....
Ahoy Fellow Fathomers! Welcome to Tuesday Tales. I introduce you to a brand new WIP I have going to spice up my resume. This book is entitled Nights Under Shining Armor. Our prompt today is a beautiful picture. It fits perfectly in my contemporary romance, plot lined around the sensational show, Medieval Times Dinner and Tournament. Please enjoy my 300 words:
“I don’t know a thing about the Renaissance period. But, the
clothes are cool.” Audrey Ryan lifted her skirt away from her feet and did a
slight pirouette in the dressing room.
“Do you really want this job?” Her best friend, Kate Simmons
handled another dress hanging on a loaded rack of costumes.
The entire back room was filled with smocks in a variety of
colors. Surcoats with specific crests emblazoned on them represented different
houses of the knights. Gowns, hoods, capes, and petticoats hung in order by
size and like designs. Several mirrors adorned a long line of costume and
make-up stations. The height-adjustable chairs would soon be filled with
employees transforming into medieval residents.
“If being a serving wench will pay my rent, then, I’m up for
the challenge.” Audrey positioned a veil atop her head and studied the look.
“If you show more cleavage, maybe you’ll get bigger tips.”
Kate shrugged her shoulders and batted her eyelashes.
“This is a family show, Kate. It’s not like Hooters or
something.” Audrey disappeared into a private dressing room.
“I don’t do distressed, and I don’t need rescued.” Audrey
retorted, distaste dripped from her words.
“Besides they have a strict no fraternization
policy and I don’t need some guy to ruin my chances for a paycheck.”
“Okay…I know, you are the rugged female carving your place
successfully in the world on your own. I’m the trusty sidekick who will remind
you of your need to actually have a personal life.”
Audrey emerged, dressed in her street clothes. “I don’t know
what I’d do without you, Katy-girl. You remind me I’m semi-human.”
“Yep, I’ll always will.”
