Courage Ignites

      The atmosphere sizzles with electricity and anticipation.  Even with the lights dimmed, I catch his eye watching, teasing, and daring me. 


 
     The band starts, the drums mesmerize.  A tequila shot, one, two, three, go! Amber liquid scorches.   My inhibitions flee.  I dance!

    1. Vinodini, tequila can rock just about everything including your world if you drink it straight up. My drink of choice are tequila sunrises although I love Mai Tai's and Sex on the Beach too. LOL Thank you for stopping by and for your sweet comments! I am so pleased you enjoyed my attempt at 42 words!

  4. Yes, isn't that why they call it "liquid courage." I don't drink much but if I did more than a drink, it probably would do that to me! ;) <3
