--Sarah--
Sarah picked up the paper and opened it to the personal ads. She had yet to figure out why the Kissing Town Gazette had a section for personal ads; there were never any posted. It seemed no one was looking for love, they had already found it. The birds chirping outside pushed her from her thoughts. She needed to start getting ready for work. She worked at one of the most romantic cafes in Kissing Town, The French Kiss. If she was late, she'd lose her job and then she'd be lonely and jobless. What an awful combination. So she put on her uniform and pulled her hair up into a ponytail. Then she rushed off to work. When she entered the kitchen, her boss looked down at his watch. She had just barely made it. She smiled at him and picked up her notebook. Then she went into the café to take orders. She noticed a man sitting alone at a corner table, and immediately made her way towards him. He was very handsome and was obviously visiting from somewhere else. Otherwise he'd be married. Men like him didn't last long in Kissing Town. She smiled at him.
"What can I get for you?" he looked up at her and back down at his menu.
"Umm, a cider and you, if you're not busy." He looked up and smiled.
"Coming right up." Sarah replied. She smiled to herself. Maybe her luck was changing. She went back to the kitchen and poured the glass of cider. She took it to him and pulled up a chair to the table.
"My name is Christov. I know this sounds crazy, but I think I'm in love with you." He whispered, leaning over the table so she could hear him. Sarah laughed.
"It's not crazy, this damn town does it to you. I'm Sarah."
They talked and talked for hours. They talked about life, love, their hopes, dreams, fears, everything. When her shift was over, her boss kindly reminded her that she hadn't done a bit of work and promptly fired her. She didn't really care though. She was in love. They left the café and went around doing all the things couples did in Kissing Town. A trip to the Snow White Glass Coffin and even a visit to the Lucky in Love Casino. It was much more fun as a couple, Sarah noted. But the night, like all, came to an end. Christov walked Sarah to her apartment, and they said their good-byes.
"I have to leave early tomorrow for home, but I'll come back and visit soon." Sarah nodded, knowing full well that she would never see him again. Kissing Town love usually never lasted past the outskirts of the town. That was something Sarah knew from experience. After he left, Sarah began wondering how she was ever going to get her job back. Once again she was alone.
