When Mercy met Sammy

Prologue

Mercedes Jones. She was as far removed from a romantic as possible. Love songs, poems, flowers, candle-lit dinners by the beach, Sandra Bullock movies. Nothing made her nose scrunch harder than that. It wasn't that she was completely far removed from love and affection. She wasn't cold or hard-hearted. No. She just appreciated that life was very different to what movie directors and some fiction authors would have you believe. Was she high maintenance? No. She just accepted reality-mostly with a smile, but completely with caution. Was she a pessimist? Far from. More like a realist. She didn't fret about her glass being half full or empty, heck you were lucky to even get a glass, in this fast paced world let alone worry about its contents. And that, that was Mercedes Jones.

Samuel Evans. He was a romantic fool. Serenading, handpicking flowers, sky writing messages, love letters, and Sandra Bullock marathons. Nothing made his eyes glint more. It wasn't that he easily fell in love-or out of it for that matter. In fact till date-rather embarrassingly-he had had only one girlfriend. If that. He just adored the idea of old school classical remedies that would make any lady swoon. He appreciated that every now and then, a little bit magic in our otherwise mundane lives did a whole lot of good. Was he crazy? No. Just a little aloof. Was he an optimist. Not particularly, he knew when to move on and when to stay and fight. He simply knew that in this short but beautiful life that we had been granted, every second counted, and counted more depending on who you were with. And that, that was Samuel Evans.
