Lansbury is a cozy little New England town. Antiques, angler, and vintage clothing shops, beside victorian cafes, create a picturesque scene.
Martha met Randall at the church picnic. A new resident in town always catches the single girls eyes. Before leaving, he asks if we could meet for coffee on Friday at the cafe.
Bashfully, I giggle, ‘yes’.
While waiting, I admire the sun playing with the blue hues on the stained glass windows. Rainbow rays reflecting a relaxed tone amid the chatter of people.
Entering the cafe, he approaches with a smile.
In the glow, he is very handsome.

You see the mentality of this group in the comments. There’s a lot of concern that he is what he appears to be. I enjoyed your description of the town. It reminds me of where I grew up on the opposite coast.

Sounds like a lovely start. (I also got caught on the change in POV and stepped back from the story, but only for a split second. In such a short space, I wondered if it was a deliberate literary twist.) Anyway, I love the descriptions of the town. I moved to New England recently and you captured it very well.

I always enjoyed our little vacation in New England. It’s a charming place. You are fortunate to live there. 😊
At times, it’s difficult to get everything into a story with 100 words. I tend to be wordy when I write. I’ve been doing this challenge for some time now to get a mastery on shortening my writing. I’m not sure why I shifted my POV. I think I may have done it while editing the word count.
Eugenia, Thanks for letting me know.I appreciate it. I’m always learning about writing so having someone point out these writing things helps a lot. Be Safe …

Fun little romance story. I felt transported into this small town and the transcendent moment at the end finished it off nicely. I like the way this story made me feel inside.

Delightful story. I think the change in point of view was that the story started with ‘Martha met Randall’ and then went on to singular first person narration.
