Many thanks to Rochelle for Friday Fictioneers. And, look at me, getting my story written days before the party expires! 😉 And while you’re focusing on that lovely flower of Dale’s, I saw books. Books! Books! Books!
Prince Charming and the Gift of Stephen King
Lindsey parted the flowers burying Jane’s desk. “You there?”
“Hmm.”
“Word’s out you’re single.”
“Evidently.”
“Flowers are nice.”
Jane sneezed. “Sure.”
Lindsey rolled her eyes. “I know. You’re waiting for Prince Charming who will instinctively know you’d prefer a book to all the roses in the world.”
Jane blew her nose, nodding. “That.”
“Jane? Are you sick?” Dan asked.
“It’s the flowers,” she said. “You ready for me to proof your doc?”
He grinned. “Almost. In the meantime . . . .”
He handed her a present. Something heavy. Something rectangular. Something that could only be a book.

You and me both. I saw the books too
🙂 Lovely. This is also true of my reaction to flowers and books as gifts! 🙂
So many character moments in this that engage.
I suspect he knew that a book would charm her more than flowers since they wilt. Books are forever.
Looks like she found her prince charming after all.
It looks that way. Thanks so much!
A very perceptive man about what is important to her.
It could be worse, she could love expensive diamonds. ~~~ : – )
Have a wonderful weekend …

Someone was paying attention. Good for Lindsey. Nice story!
Dear Sascha,
I’d say Prince Charming has arrived with book in hand. Nicely done.
Shalom,
Rochelle
Dear Sascha,
It appears Prince Charming has arrived with book in hand. Sweet story.
Shalom,
Rochelle
I love Dan! And how can you miss the books, eh? I *may* have a problem 😉
Synchronicity is a beautiful thing. I love it when it happens.
I just hope Dan didn’t arrive with Lindsey, because it seems like he might be leaving with Jane!
Nice turn-around for Jane. I’m glad Dan’s arrived with the right kind of gift. Cute story.
Books are a hard gift to give. They are living creatures. One can hand them out to just anyone.
