"...stale breath
syruped with slimey words."
Wow! I love this description! I didn't know my nose had it in her to conjure up a smell passing throught it, just by reading about one! Lol! My nose: the captive microfiction-audience! Lolouder!
Oooh...she's got his number! Your description is awesome.
She's on to him ;-)
He does appear to be foppish and manipulative, but she sees right through his facade. Excellent!
Lovely, Gemma! Neat and poetic, evocative and humorous. Well done.
Very well done:-)
