"This is lovely." Sabrina sighed as they walked through Central Park.

"It certainly is." Joe agreed. "Thank you for lunch by the way. It's highly unusual for a lady to treat a man to

lunch."

"Yes, and I'm glad I was so persistent about your letting me pay." Sabrina said. "Before my father sent me to

cooking school in Paris, I would never have had the courage to ask a man to lunch and then pay for it, much

less talk to a man at all."

"Did you like Paris?" Joe asked.

Sabrina sighed again. "Oh yes. I loved it. It's the most wonderful place on Earth. Have you been there, Mr.

Bradley?"

"Um, yes. Actually I have. It's very beautiful."

"Don't you find it romantic?" Sabrina asked.

"Yes, as a matter of fact I did." Joe responded.

"Are there any other places you love?" Sabrina asked.

"Besides New York City you mean? Well I have very fond memories of Rome. I lived there for a while and it's the

most incredible place I've ever been. I'll never ever forget it."

Sabrina couldn't help but wonder about the cause of the dreamy look that came over him, or the nervous way

he adjusted his collar.

"I'd love to go there... someday." Sabrina said.

"I hope we can... Um... I mean... I hope you'll get that chance, Sabrina." Joe said; the nervousness obvious in

his voice.

"Say, why don't we rest for a while? Get to know one another a little better?" Joe asked, breaking the silence

that had filled the space between them.

"All right. How about that bench over there?" Sabrina asked, pointing to a secluded area of Central Park that

was surrounded by shady trees.

"That sounds just fine." Joe said.

As they walked to the bench, she was suddenly aware that he'd been holding her hand.

"I've always loved it here." Sabrina said as they sat down.

"It's a beautiful day." Joe remarked, as he casually draped his arm around her.

"Oh..." Sabrina said, shivering at his touch.

"I'm sorry." Joe said, pulling his arm away from her shoulders. "I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable."

"You didn't. In fact... It's quite nice." Sabrina said. "Mr. Bradley?"

"Joe, please." Joe said.

Sabrina smiled. "All right... Joe... There's something I should tell you."

"And what might that be?" He asked, brushing a lock of hair from her forehead.

She stared into his beautiful eyes.

Mr. Bradley... Joe... I think I'm falling in love with you."

He moved closer and closer until their lips came together in a series of soft kisses.

"This is crazy, isn't it?" Sabrina asked when the kisses ended. "I mean we hardly know each other and-."

Before she could finish, Joe kissed her again. "It's not crazy at all."

Suddenly he pulled away.

"What's wrong, Joe?" Sabrina asked.

"Well, I'm extremely flattered Sabrina. But what about David?"

"Oh, Mr. Bradley, I don't love David." Sabrina said, amazed that she actually meant it.

"I love you."

"I'm glad to hear you say that, Sabrina." Joe said giving her a smile that melted her heart.

"Why, Joe?"

"Because I love you, too."

When they kissed again, Sabrina sighed.

Because she'd finally reached the moon and was now happier than she'd ever dreamed.
