Bells, feathers, ribbons, a church. A beautiful dreamy girl walked in my direction. I could see her from the altar. Her red hair done like never before. A fair dress better than anyone she had ever worn. Due all the respect and my better judgment, she was stunning. Cold sweat covered my hands. In my stomach, thousands of butterflies sat free in every direction, like a teenager on the first date.

Submitted to Contest #5

"Hey Cath, are you going in your date after work?" The young woman said to me, while I was typing in my computer. I nodded but I felt induced to say, "Yes". "So what's your type? I know, it's the sports type. Since you are a baseball fanatic." I closed the search tabs, filled with late baseball players, and continued the report I had to finish today. "Just asking," she murmured and got back at work. "Is someone from work?" "I didn't know my personal life was that interesting," I said. "But as adults those things shouldn't be remarkable." ...
