I was in the library scanning the bookshelves for a copy of ‘The Charms of Dandyism; Or Living in Style’ by Olivia Moreland, Chief of the Female Dandies.
I spotted it and started to take it from the shelf when suddenly it pulled back! I pulled, it pulled. I pulled harder, it pulled harder. Someone was fooling around with me, but I wasn’t going to let them win. I was not.
I heaved…and heaved…and suddenly it broke free. I flew backwards then down onto the floor landing with the book, gaping open, across my face. I felt such a fool.
I peered under the bottom shelf and spotted a pretty pair of ankles. I climbed back to my feet and peeped through the gap left by ‘The Charms of Dandyism blah blah blah’, and looking back at me was the sweetest blue eye I’d ever seen!
‘Hello, I’m Paige’ said a cute little voice.
To cut a long story short, after a chat and a laugh and a cup of coffee we thought it would be nice to read the book together.
And so began a new chapter in our lives.

Lovely meeting of the minds
Thank you, Beth.
Wonderful story, Keith. What a way to turn over a new leaf…meeting a fellow book lover. Great and unique take on the prompt.
It certainly was, thanks so much, Suzette.
You are most welcome Keith.
Ah, very sweet. Nice book, then eh?
Errr…not particularly!
How lovely! How’s the book, by the way?
Definitely not one for me!
Aww, a sweet story Keith. Thanks for joining in.
Thanks so much, Sadje

Nice story Keith!
Thanks, Di.
Of course her name would be Paige. Delightful! Hope the new chapter has no devious plot twists. 🙂
I wondered if anyone would see the connection! Thanks, Christine.
An interesting way to make a new friend, isn’t it.
It’s certainly different! Thanks, Mimi.
A meet-cute for the ages. Delightful story.
Thanks so much!
Lovely take, Keith. I was expecting something scary. But. this is also good.
It could have been – but it wasn’t! Thanks, Indira.
What a perfect story for the prompt! I am happy you joined in on this one- just another excuse for me to hear your charming voice tell me a story!
What a lovely thing to say, thank you so much, Jodi.
