Chapter 1

Rose DeWittBukater, 24 years old, is a waitress who has worked at a local coffee shop for the past five years. Out of those five years she's worked at the coffee shop, she's never met anyone who could grab her attention so much as by talking to her or even looking at her, until now.

Rose was walking out of the kitchen, over to a table with a customer's order. She wasn't paying much attention to what she was doing, and bumped into someone. The cup with the order of coffee fell, sending shards of glass and coffee over the tile floor and all over her. She bent down to pick them up with a towel she had in a front pocket of her apron.

"I'm sorry." They both said at the same time.

Rose immediately looked up and saw a man with crystal looking blue eyes and shaggy blond hair in front of her.

"It's alright. I should look where I'm going." She said with a sweet smile.

"Well that makes two of us." He said with a chuckle. "Let me help you." He returned the smile.

Rose continued to pick up the glass off the floor and allowed the man in front of her to help. It wasn't very often people would offer to help clean something up after a little accident like that. Most would just say 'sorry' and be on their way. After the mess was cleaned up he helped her up off the floor.

"Again, I'm sorry." He said.

"That's alright, accidents happen. I'll just get another cup." Rose said with a small smile.

The man just nodded. "Well I should be heading off. Have a good day, miss and once again, I'm sorry."

She nodded in return and replied "You too and me too." She laughed.

He turned around and walked out the door of the coffee shop.

Rose then walked back into the kitchen and got another cup of coffee, and walked back over to the customer's table. She apologized for the long wait and accidentally spilling the coffee the first time and asked if he needed anything else. He replied with a 'No' and 'That's ok.' Rose then smiled nicely and nodded, and went to tend to more customers.

At the end of the day she she grabbed her purse and coat from the back room and headed out the door to go home.

When she got to her small one bedroom apartment she unlocked the door and went on inside to the living room. She turned on the television to the news channel and laid her keys and purse on the side table next to a chair. She walked into her bedroom and removed her shoe and let down her hair. She then grabbed her pajamas off her bed and walked into the bathroom to take a shower and get ready for bed.

When she got out of the shower she got dressed and ready for bed. Walking back into the living room to watch some tv, she couldn't help but think about the man with the crystal blue eyes and soft voice that she had bumped into earlier. Rose hadn't seen him around before, that's not to say he never was there when she wasn't working, but still. She couldn't get him out of her mind. She couldn't figure out what it was about him that she seemed to take a liking to. Questions started coming to her mind: Who was he? Did he live in town? Would she see him again? These were all questions which she had no answer to. She hoped to figure out who he was, if he lived in town, and had certainly hoped to see him again.

Rose watched a television for a few more minutes before shutting it off and heading to bed. She turned the blanket down and got into bed covering herself up and drifted off to sleep with the hope that she would soon see the man again.
