Caya Quinn was preparing for another day at work. She tied back her long honey blond hair, and added eyeliner to the lids that covered her bright blue eyes. It wasn't that she disliked her job, she just didn't love it. She always dreamed of having a wonderful career, a loving husband, and the greatest children in the world. And, she almost did, but that was half a world away and a lifetime ago. As was said, she liked her job. Caya loved the people she worked. She worked at a local cafe in the beautiful setting that was her new home. When she arrived in this growing town, the first few people she met welcomed her with open arms. The energy of this new place was invigorating and helped her feel at peace.

Arriving at the small café where she worked twenty minutes early, she waited at one of the "employee" tables while reading the morning paper. Perfect weather would be had today. That was nice to know. The Mayor was involved in yet another scandal, no shock there. She had just turned the page when she heard the tinkle of the bell on the door. In walked a man with the second most hypnotizing eyes she had ever seen. No matter how hard she tried, couldn't look away from them. Green, the clearest, brightest, most entrancing shade she's ever seen. Not even her best friend from school who was famous for his green eyes (among other things) could compare. They stood out against his honey colored hair and golden tan. She shook herself from her thoughts, she was in mourning for her one true love. She shouldn't be drooling over some stranger. Determined to pull herself together, she stood to assist the man.

"Good morning, Would you like a table for one?" she asked sweetly, as if she hadn't just been caught checking him out. He gave her an amused smile and answered "Actually, I have an interview with Carrie, I am a bit early though."

'Oh my', thought Caya, ' I'm always a sucker for Irish accents'. The thought made her shudder. He was quite good looking, yet there was just something about him. She couldn't place it, but she felt as if she could be happy inside those eyes. Snapping out of her daze once again, she smiled and directed him to the employees table and went into the back to find Carrie.

Carrie was the owner of the café, but insisted on being apart of the crew also. She was dedicated to her job and was one of the first people Caya had met when first coming to the area. She was insanely caring and kind, with short brown hair and hazel eyes. She was quite beautiful and not much older than Caya.

"Carrie, there is an incredibly good looking man out front waiting for you, he says he's early though" Caya had finally found her in the back walk in.

"Must be Jason Thuban, he's interviewing for the utility person spot. He seems to be a nice guy, you know Caya, maybe if he takes the job, you two should go out." Carrie was always trying to set her up no matter how many times she said she wasn't interested.

"Carrie, I have no intentions of dating ANYONE! I tried, I felt like I was cheating on my Dragon. I still feel bound to him." She only ever referred to him as her Dragon, she had told them he died in the war, but they assumed it was the muggle war going on.

"You know, it's been over four years. Do you honestly think he would want you to be lonely for the rest of your life? Obviously you two had a deep connection, straight from the pages of magical fairy tales. But we all know that magic and fairy tales don't exist! You can't keep torturing yourself, Caya. It's not fair to you or his memory."

'Silly muggles' was the only thing that Caya got through her mind before Carrie left the giant refrigerator. Long before Caya had come here, she had a magical fairy tale life. Naturally, NO ONE knew of her "special-ness".

Caya still had her wand, though it was locked away in a safe. Other than her engagement ring, the safe, and all the money inside, she brought nothing with her from her old life. Her ring had been magically altered so that it could not link her to her past. It was after all a one of a kind piece. She took no risks when it came to her hiding. She knew the area she came to was a small community, but it was a very popular spot for tourists.

Caya was walking back to the front when she bumped straight into Carrie and Jason. Luckily Jason caught her before she had a chance to hit the floor. She hadn't seen reflexes like that in years. 'Damn' she thought, there's that feeling again. She hadn't even been attracted to any one else in the last four years, but BOOM, here comes this Jason guy and in 20 minutes, she feels like…like… hell, she wasn't sure anymore. Maybe it was time for her to move on.


As Jason was being shown around by Carrie, she couldn't help but bring up Caya, and better yet he seemed interested.

"She seems nice," he said thoughtfully "Her eyes are intoxicating. I just don't know if I'm ready to get to know anybody yet" he finished sadly.

"Oh, bad break up?" Carrie prodded, in spite of her caring nature, she was a bit nosy. And pushy.

"No, My wife died a couple years ago, drowned in the ocean, I know that I'll move on eventually, just not quite ready yet. That's why I left back home. I've been traveling, but decided to come here because this is where we had planned our next trip to. I liked it so I stayed." He was brought out of his heart wrenching thoughts when Carrie responded to him.

" Interesting. She too is grieving. She lost her fiancée about four years ago. He was in some branch of the military and was stationed over seas. Maybe you could help each other." she said with a small smile.

"Maybe" he mumbled. After only knowing her for a few minutes and only speaking a few words, he felt more at ease with her than anyone else in four years. Even Carrie could feel the electricity when they bumped into each other. "Maybe, indeed."
