Pondering Her Choices

Sharita is pondering her choices; and there are many.
Travel to the Rivera with her husband who is grouchy
Stay the weekend with her mother who needs her
Run off to the Orient and make a new life away from both?

She puts on her prettiest lipstick, and grabs her sun hat
Waits for crepes in the courtyard of her favorite restaurant.
A French gentleman approaches to offer her another choice.
Can a woman not look pretty without this kind of attention?
