#1LineWed is a hashtag prompt from @RWAKissofDeath for writers to select a line from a work or work-in-progress on a particular theme and post it to Twitter.
Theme: “pretty.”
James, an actor, has been teasing Cath, the stage manager of his current play. Cath is a middle-distance runner and he’s told her she needs to eat her lunch so she will be fueled up to run. She takes an enormous bite of her sandwich and replies:
“Eat up, pretty boy. You work out at least two hours a day. You…what did you say to me? You need the calories.”#1linewed
