BtVS Drabble Prompt: Glee

[garnigal]

She remembered being happy.

Playing dolls, hosting tea parties for her teddy bears.

Free as a bird, running around the neighbourhood with her friends.

Giggling in bathrooms, making eyes at boys.

Kissing in the backseat until she was breathless, sneaking in late with a smile on her face.

She remembered being happy. Happy, joyful, blissed out, gleeful, giddy, merry.

But as she sat in a darkened room at 2 am with a glass of wine, waiting for her husband to come home, Joyce knew she hadn’t been happy in a very long time.

And she wanted to be happy again.

It's so easy to forget that mothers were once young. I feel sad for Joyce now, when I never have before.

Thanks Ares!

Awww - Poor Joyce! Nicely done.

Thanks.

Oh, poor Joyce. My hearts breaks a bit for her.

Thanks. I hope she had glee in her life before it all went bad. Heaven's knows there isn't much glee in Sunnydale.

I like this :)

But I didn't see the "BtVS" at the beginning and thought you were writing about the show "Glee".

I have Glee on the brain right now.

YAY GLEE.

*cough*

Snerk. That would make for a confusing read until you figured it out.

[caliza.livejournal.com]

I was quite confused...

[texanfan.livejournal.com]

Oh that one's a gut punch.

[garnigal.livejournal.com]

Thanks so much.

I dig young, merry Joyce. Nice one.

Thanks. I was trying to live up to the fact that you friended me for drabbles, so I had to write something this week. It was a hard prompt, eh?

[the-visitor.livejournal.com]

I dunno, I'm liking it! :) Then again, I'm new to drabblage and may be a little giddy.
