I think it would be advisable to wear shoes. I used to wear very high stiletto heels, now flats and trainers! But, it seems to have brought something of a possible romance for this young lady! Well done, my friend, love it. :)) Sandra xx

    I think this is the story I will use to finish out October... a little drama, a little sadness and a little love. thanks for reading this one, Sandra.

A very heart-warming genuine piece of work.

This short story manages to not only entertain the reader, but builds some anticipation.

Good job!

    A lot of the readers want me to expand on it and I might in order to cover October...giving me a break from the big novels because the next in the series is going to be a whopper.

This is just delightful, Carol! To capture sudden attraction in so few words is not easy...

I love it when the frisson of romance sparks off the page without a hint of anything off-color.

I find myself, like most of your admirers, hoping you will carry this one further...

Shoes or no shoes this feels like destiny!

Please consider expanding!

    This one will be what I use between the end of the novel and the Nov 1 story, I think. It won't be full blown novel but I think I can stretch it to something interesting and fun. I didn't expect you to come back today and read more. Don't be pushing yourself.
    smiles and hugs, Carol

This is a lovely little romance story, Carol with an amusing touch to it. I do believe fate steps in at times for us, as it did with this couple, wet feet and all. Loved it, Carol.
cheers,

Very cute story, Carol. I love the fun of it. Running through the rain barefooted, but then gets to meet someone who she falls for. Great timing!! Hope she gets another chance with him the next day!! You need a follow up story.

Hugs,
Rhonda

    Funny you should say that Rhonda. Every one has been asking for the story to continue. I needed something to fill in during the month of October and I think this story might be the one. thank you so much for the review and the thoughts.

This is a cute story in a realistic setting that can happen in any city. I enjoyed the build up of losing her heel which led to the dialogue between her and the man who helped her. You left the ending so this romance story could continue.

    And it might....I can't believe how many readers have wanted just that... What started out as an amusing short sounds like it might get a life of its own. Thanks so much!

I could clearly see the spark already between Kendra and the man on the train, even though they only met for a brief few moments. It'll be really interesting to see what happens next and if she does meet him again. This could be another great start to a novel. I enjoyed reading it.

    thanks, Jacob! I've had so many ask me to continue the story. I was really surprised. I might do a short book during October because I have another book the third in the series in mind for the November contest. Can't believe I am thinking ahead that far already.

Well, I'm guess I'm a little slow, but why in the world would it matter if she wore shoes or not? I mean, it's that much less to have to take off. LOL. Okay, now I'm being bad. Great job a always! Thanks for sharing.

This is cute story. It reminds me of times I lost a heel and had to take my shoes off and go bare-footed. I used to wear really skinny heels to work. Remember those grates in the street of drainage areas. You could never step on them wearing high heels. I never met a man that way though, but I've broken more than one heel.

    Yes, that's what came to mind when I was writing the story. I had an idea of continuing the story and he showed up the next day minus shoes...My mind is crazy!
