This was a great and funny read. I could just picture you with no clothes on escaping the bees! It was hilarious and I loved the bittersweet ending with Leonard giving you the diamond ring. A great little tale for the contest.

I figured the twist was Simone found Leonard with another women. Your ending was perfect and I loved it, although, I had plenty of laughs at the mental image you described of the bee situation.

A misunderstanding, but a sweet one with an amazing ending. Ha-ha, I can imagine Simone surrounded by the bees, half naked too. How could you have such an imagination, Carol?

Read this piece, I enjoyed. Not sure bumblebees are attracted by colonge, bright colors and sweets, I always thought though a sweet colonge might work. Both amusing and a happy ending.

Hullo Carol ...

Once again, you have come up trumps with your theme for this delightful story which has such a happy surprise ending.
I can't help smiling remembering how I was attacked by a ferocious swarm of Bees - my husband told me to run and he ran after me and then they started stinging him too.
At the end of it, we both looked as if we had been in a fight because as well as all the painful stings, our faces and eyes were badly swollen. I could write quite a story about that and what happened the following day.
Thank you for sharing this with us. As it is a Contest entry, I wish you well.
With love from .... Nanette Mary.

How funny. the poor girl. I hate bees because they like the color of my hair, and I'm allergic. Why is there always a camera around at such times. Great job.

Well Carol, a story with somewhat of a sting.
It certainly didn't turn out the way that Simone
expected. But all worked out well in the end.
How are you. Not chatted for a while and I hope
things are great with you...

This is a very believeable story about the bees, because just that quick they can be on you. What pain and torment they leave behind. I like the creativity of how Simone got to that point. The camera crew was an added touch and the fact that Leonard didn't plan to give her the ring in the ambulance was a nice twist. I could visualize the entire setting. Good luck with the contest. ann
