“You left these inside,” he said, rushing to catch up with me as I exited the coffee shop.
Handing me the sunglasses, his warm hand touched mine.
A frisson of electricity!
He felt it too – there was surprised laughter in his eyes.
Love at first sight.
Sweet mystery. Sweet magic.

My luck I would have electrocuted him. There he would be smoldering on the floor and I am so embarrassed. I’m out the door. Love at first sight–been there. Nice story. Lucy
Well, Lucy, you know how the old song goes: you always hurt the one you love! 😉 Glad you liked the story, my friend.
You’ve captured a moment that, I hope, changed the future.
That’s a nice thought. It would be nice to revisit them in, say, 30 years. 🙂
Great stuff, Kate!
I’m hoping something like this happens to me in the near future…. 🙂
Something you shared with me put the idea into my head. I’m glad you enjoyed – and, of course, I hope something like that happens to you as well. ❤
Awww, shucks! On both fronts! 🙂
Oooooo Even I felt that charge waaaayyyy over here. 😛 I like how you captured the moment. Awesome. ❤
Thanks, dear Tess! Glad you liked it. 🙂

Terrific short to the challenge. Reminds me of something that happened to me long ago….
Love at first sight, huh? Maybe it will show up in one of your stories!
Well done, Kate! i can’t manage anything like this, no good when it comes to challenges, but you certainly can. Yes!
Thanks, John. I have to admit, I do love challenges!
The very definition of ‘short and sweet’. Nice treatment of the challenge.
Thank you. Love always seems both mystery and magic – so it was fun to take the prompt in that direction.
