Once Upon a Time in Brooklyn – By: Arl’s World
Never had he seen such a lovely creature. He knew he must catch up to her and know her name. What he would say to her, he had no idea.
Running fast as he could through the crowd, his chest ached, closer …But then, she stepped off the curb to cross the street. She was going to get away, he would never see her again. Suddenly, she stopped, her shoe caught in the drain! He would rescue her!
And then she was gone …and all he had, was her shoe.
“Excuse me,” a voice said, “you have my sister’s shoe.” 😉
Thanks for reading!

Fate lends a helping hand.

Yes! Although it could go two ways. He could still get to meet her through the sister …or, he could decide he likes the sister instead 🙂

I can see the screenplay now. Of course he will fall in love with the sister.
I never thanked you for turning me on to Friday Fictioneers. Thank you. It’s been a fun ride with these kooks.

Dear Arl,
I see this as one of those Hallmark channel movies that I’m a sucker for. I love the implied romance here. Sweet.
Shalom,
