Flasher Fiction Friday - Reflection

She didn’t lift her head at her name. She sat still on the shore of the pond, breath swirling at the back of her throat. She paused before turning to the speaker, not answering the eunuch.
“He will see you now.”

Her mind and heart would remain here, floating among the brightly the coloured blooms on the still reflective surface of the pond. Reflections of her, of who she might be, who wasn’t. There would be pleasure, but it would be only a reflection.
