February Drabble Challenge: "Love and Hate"
Well, it's Valentine's Day time, so let's get cliche. Write me a prose story in exactly 100 words tying into the theme of love or hate or Valentine's Day. Any genre, but horror has a special place in my heart. Winner gets a pair of George Washingtons, baby. Wanna win? Stick to prose using standard rules of grammar, spelling, and punctuation. I'll choose the winner in early March.

Elise grabbed the phone when she heard the ring tone, I Will Always Love You.
"Hey, Luca."
"Hey, babe."
"I was just thinking about you."
"Me, too. Look, bad news. I have to work late on Friday."
"Valentine's Day?"
"Yeah, I know. My boss doesn't care."
"Can't you work Saturday instead?"
"I wish, but he insists."
"Okay, I guess. Dinner Saturday?”
"For sure. I'll call you."
Friday night, Elise sat on her couch, flipping channels. She was watching half-time basketball highlights when the picture shifted to the audience. She screamed and threw the remote.
Luca was on the Kiss Cam.
