I was in the library looking for something to read. Spotting a book I fancied, I took hold of it, but wouldn’t move. I pulled, it pulled back! I heaved. It heaved. Suddenly it stopped resisting and I flew backward, landing the floor.
I peered under the bottom shelf and spotted a pretty pair of ankles. I clambered to my feet, straightened my glasses and peeped through the gap on the shelf. Looking back at me were the sweetest blue eyes I’d ever seen. ‘Hello, I’m Paige’ said a cute little voice.
We agreed to share the book and so started a new chapter in our lives.
Thanks to Rochelle for hosting and CEAyr for the photo.
Prod the frog to join in the fun!
Love your story.

Oh Keith,
This story (and the frog) are both adorable. I can’t help thinking of the old Hollies song “Bus Stop” but instead of sharing an umbrella these two are sharing a book. Love it.
Shalom,
Rochelle
