Perfect Match, by Sandra James

6/11/2020

17 Comments

 
Everyone meets online these days. Find an appealing profile, chat, arrange a safe first meeting.

Matthew and Stephanie chose the new coffee shop on High Street. He admired her soft brunette curls. She fancied his muscular bi-ceps.

‘We could get takeaway and go to the park,’ she suggested.

‘If you trust me,’ he laughed. ‘I could be an axe murderer.’

‘So could I,’ she grinned.

As they made their way to a secluded picnic table, he fingered the dagger in his coat pocket.

She caressed the pink-handled Smith and Wesson in her handbag.

Thanks, Jim! No one ever warns you against dagger and gun carriers, only axe murderers :)

What a fun story Sandra. Would love to be a fly on the wall or on a bush...but out of range.
