“You made me wait because you were baking?!?”
“It was my first time…I brought you some to try…”

Ron walked dejectedly down the cold blustery beach. He debated proposing to Dora. He was poor, can’t even buy her a decent ring. Her family disliked him.
He saw a tiny glint a few steps away. He picked it up and cleaned the sand off.
It was a gold ring, its precious stone long gone.

In the pale semi-light of our bedroom, I could just make out her shadow. The gentle curve of her hips dipping into her waist. Her dark hair.

Pancakes, bacon and black coffee. It’s always the same every morning. Then a generous tip, and he was gone.
“Handsome man, but what a cold character,” the waitress mused.
“Will I ever have the courage to ask her out?” he wondered on his way out the door.
