She had that easy confidence that came from being young (and beautiful) and completely apathetic to her surroundings. He’d followed her for seven blocks and she never noticed.
He wasn’t a stalker. He—well— He just had no other plans for his Saturday.
She dipped into Starbucks. He patted the dog tied up outside. She ran into the clothing store; he purchased something for his mother.
When the rain picked up, he was there with an umbrella.
“You’re a godsend, simply appearing out of nowhere.”
“Not a problem, Miss.”
“Angie,” she corrected.
“Tony.”
“Nice to meet you,” they said, in unison.
Really nice set up. I wish I knew his intentions but I sort of like that you left it open to our imagination!
How refreshing…..
A good (happy) ending is always a treat. Like this a lot.
The start of would could be a love story….or a true crime novel. I really dig the ambiguity.
A nice, easy little love (maybe) story in the making. Liked it.
