"Scarlett in Red" - 5 Minute Freewrite: Thursday Prompt: red wine

Here is my first attempt to write a story (which is unfinished, though), and also to participate in @marrianewest's five-minute #freewrite. Thanks to @mariannewest for providing all the information and the links to the tools that will help us in our writing. I used The Most Dangerous Writing App, and corrected all the wrong spellings and use of punctuations using Grammarly.

SCARLETT IN RED

Scarlett was sipping her glass of red wine when a familiar face and figure suddenly appeared in front of her. She was caught redhanded by her husband having a dinner date with Rusell, her ex-boyfriend. She panicked and all her bright red lips could manage to utter was, "It's not what you think."

Tonight, she chose to wear the red cocktail dress that Rod bought three years ago as an anniversary present for her. She had never worn it once. "What was I thinking?" How could she explain that it was not her intention to hurt Rod. She thought that it was the only way she could help resurrect her husband's company, which was approaching its imminent death or bankruptcy.

Tonight, she executed her plan to revive it, somehow. Scarlett knew that Russell still had strong feelings for her, and he would do anything for her, regardless of the fact that she was already married.

"It's not what you think," Scarlett repeated. Rod only looked viciously at both of them. His red eyes were filled with rage and tears. He desperately wanted to punch Russell in the face, but he was aware of the ogling eyes of the people around him.

Rod left the restaurant instead without saying a word. He made his mind up that he was not going to forgive his wife. He didn't need an explanation from her. He sat morosely in his car, contemplating on the preceding events that led their marriage to this. "Is our marriage over?" "How was I not able to see this?" Her face with glowing red lips and makeup hovered in his mind, then he decided to switch the car engine on. He came to a decision that he was going to win her back. He would wait for her to come home and they would talk. There was still time for reparations and their marriage could be saved.

And then time was up, although I still want to write the end of the story to emphasise the daily prompt "red wine" even further.
