Great photo, perfect for this romantic story. Sounds like a promising beginning - and sometimes that's where love begins, in the most unlikely of circumstances.

    Yes it does...Mine began in my backyard with my four year old son shooting the neighbor...We became best friends and 15 years later, life changed and we became much more. Thanks for the review, Wendy.

Wonderful visual! I can practically feel that water on my feet. And your short story is such a feel-good one that warms the heart (if not the feet!) Another excellent read, Carol. Thank you. Debbie

    Thanks, Debbie! Yes, cold rain water was once fun, splashing in the puddles, but not anymore. I wouldn't be able to stop my teeth from chattering. Thanks for the review and kindness.

Hah!
What a believable snapshot of the potential for "love at first sight!" Who knows? Stranger things have happened; that's for certain.
Wholesome.
Believable.
Enjoyable.

Thank you for sharing!
fondly,

    I go from scaring the socks off of the reader to leaving them all mushy and thinking about love. Even I wonder where my brain will wonder next. Thanks so much for the review, Diane.

I enjoyed reading your poem. I wish there was love at first sight. I guess we can dream, can't we ?This is a nice story. Well written. Very interesting.

This is the perfect beginning to the perfect love story. I love this, the stress and running in the train station, the meeting of the unexpected potential love of your life after the worst morning.
Being late this time had a very positive outcome!
Well done
Best Wishes
Nicki

    You guys are really messing with my mind, Marilyn...now I can blame it on you and Patrick when someone says I've lost it. I go from scaring myself half to death (locking my doors) and turning around and writing something sappy. Who knew that there was more than one of me living inside this brain? LOL

Talk about sliding doors, not believing in love at first sight doesn't necessarily mean that it won't happen, particularly when, or if it does. Then it is sure. As my wife and I had a chance meeting, 54 years later we are still together. I think it can be a God thing, He's the best one to know. Beautifully written, blessings Roy
Typo : snapping (it) off.

    I know that God had a hand in my relationship with Mike....After choosing the wrong men earlier, I chose the "bad boy" or he chose me and we ended up living happily ever after.

What a delightful and charming story! I love how you captured Kendra's frantic energy and the unexpected connection she makes with the stranger. The imagery of her barefoot running adds a unique touch. Keep it up--this is a joy to read!

    Thanks, Michael...I've been climbing out of the box so to speak...I still am writing the novels but it's been interesting to try new things...and discover that people are enjoying them. Thank you so much for the kind review.

I am with Kendra. I think I fell in love at first sight with my wonderful blue-eyed husband. Tomorrow is going to be a bit of a hard hugging day for me as it will be 29 years since the Lord took him home. It is hard to believe that it is 29 years Patricia.

    My thoughts and prayers are always with you, Patricia....and I send all my love and a big bear hug, too. It doesn't matter if it was last week or 29 years ago; he was the love of your life, and you miss him. Close your eyes, girlfriend, and he'll be there... just don't get too crazy because you have doctor appts. coming up. LOL

    Not only do I have a cardiologist appointment. I also have a dental appointment in the morning.

    Oh heavens...Nightmares for me. I am terrified of the dentist more than the cardioilogist. LOL
