What a lovely spot Jan thought brushing
a few fallen leaves off the bench. After checking for bugs she sat
down and closed her eyes. I can't believe I agreed to a blind date.
And at my age. Sure, 41 wasn't that old but she certainly wasn't a
teenager anymore and blind dates were best left to the youngsters not
people set in their ways. I have my job, my kids, my hobbies to keep
me happy. I just don't need anymore change in my life right now.
He's probably not even my type. Whatever that is. What if he's some
crazed lunatic or something? Well, of course Beth wouldn't set me up
with someone like that. Best friends don't do that to each other.
Jan smiled and took a slow, deep breath. Holding it for a moment she
cleared her mind and let it out slowly. A bird sang in the tree
overhead and she heard the distant sound of laughter. The smell of
fresh cut grass tickled her nose and the warm breeze gently brushed
the hair off her cheek. She let the tension seep out and a smile
spread across her face.
“You're beautiful.” The words were
spoken quietly.
Jan opened her eyes and her smile grew.
“You must be Adam.” She stood and extended her hand. His grip
was firm but not overpowering. She liked the feel of her hand in
his. It felt...right.
