Emily and Jack - Romantic Short Stories - E-book - ePub

The town's main street was lined with quaint shops and restaurants, and there was a sense of history and tradition in the air. The town had been founded in the early 1800s, and many of the buildings and homes still retained their original charm and character. It was on the sidewalk near one of those historic buildings that Emily and Jack first met rather unexpectedly. The local coffee shop, Java Junction, was a popular gathering place for the town's residents. It was a sunny day in August, and Emily was on her way to meet a friend for lunch when she accidentally bumped into Jack on the street. They exchanged apologies, and as they looked up, and in that moment, they both felt a spark that neither of them could explain.
And so it was that Emily, a new dental assistant in town, and Jack, a young electrician who had recently started his own business, struck up a conversation over cups of coffee. Emily loved Jack's sense of humor and how he always knew how to make her laugh. Jack loved Emily's kindness and how she always saw the best in people. As the evening went on, they shared stories and talked about their hopes and dreams.  Emily loved how attentive Jack was and how he seemed genuinely interested in what she had to say.  Jack loved how beautiful and intelligent Emily was and couldn't believe how lucky he was to have met her.
After dessert, Jack paid the bill, and they walked out of the restaurant, hand in hand.  As they stepped out into the night, Jack turned to Emily and said, "I had an amazing time tonight.  Would you like to have more dinners like this with me?"  Emily smiled and replied, "I would love to."  They hugged each other tightly, knowing that this was the start of something special.
