Cul de sac
Champagne at the cliff edge. Champagne with a view to celebrate their union. Stopping close to the edge, the handbrake was firmly applied. The young man passed two crystal flutes to the driver and released the cork carefully in that confined space.
Once filled, the glasses clinked. "To us" in unison.
Making quick work of the first glass, they kissed briefly. Glasses two and three were more leisurely, with another kiss in between.
The passenger hurled the empty bottle out and over the cliff edge in anger as the gaunt man driving eased off the handbrake. The end. Premature termination.

Wow. I didn't see that coming. Rather disturbing, but very well done, Neville.

Thanks very much, Drew. Coming from the ultimate drabble-meister, that's high praise. Like you, I love this drabble lark.
Thank you very much for reading and commenting, Snow. I'm glad you liked it.

Your sheer fecundity and generous appreciation of others certainly makes you worthy of that handle! :-)
