Chester visited the art gallery every day with the secret agenda of spending time with Lucy. His cover story was that he was trying to find the perfect earrings for someone special. It was taking a few weeks to choose the right pair. The earrings were located on the counter very near Lucy. So, Chester took his time, and began to build a foundation with Lucy as he “hunted” for the perfect pair of earrings.
***As Chester enters the gallery, Lucy greets him like any other customer, saying, “Let me know if you have any questions.” Then she realizes it’s Chester and sits up straighter. She gives him a look she doesn’t share with every other customer. Maybe she has feelings for him too? This is what he hopes for.
Chester approaches.
“Hi, Lucy! I am here to…find…the perfect…earrings…for someone special.”
He notices an earring tree and asks Lucy for help.
These? Or these? Or these?
He couldn’t decide that day, because he needed an excuse to come back often…to see Lucy.***
To be continued…
