PERFECT TIMING

Strolling along the boardwalk, Olivia gazed at the sea and heaved a lonely sigh. Wayne had proposed here. Lost in memories, she was startled by a male voice. “Olivia?”

            She whipped around to see a man with a familiar smile. His hair had turned white, but his blue eyes hadn’t lost their sparkle.  

            “Steven?”

            “How’s that sly dog who stole your heart from me?”

            “Cancer. Two years ago.”

            Steven’s playful grin faded. “Gloria passed last June.”

            After they exchanged condolences, Steven reached for her hand.  “What say we catch up over coffee somewhere warmer?”

   Her pulse raced. “I’d love to.”
