BEST LAID PLANS
It’s all gone wrong.
Horribly wrong.

Never good with women, he thought that if he took Tracey back to his she would get to know him and then like him and then…………
But ever since they got in he can’t stop her screaming.

ANNABELLE
‘Mummy, how can you? He’s just a cook!’ wailed Annabelle, when informed of her mother’s forthcoming marriage to Carlos.
‘Nonsense darling, he’s a top chef and owns two restaurants,’ replied Penelope.
Annabelle, who remained unimpressed, referred to him as, ‘That man’.
Following the wedding Carlos expanded his business and on the opening of his fourth restaurant Annabelle acknowledged him as, ‘Mummy’s second husband’.
By the seventh restaurant he had become ‘My step-father.’
And at his retirement party, having sold the chain at a huge profit, Annabelle gave a toast declaring, ‘Daddy Carlos was the best father a girl could have’.
This is a drabble of 100 words
