In the Market for True Love

 


by Joan Dayton from the June 7, 2021 issue

Tagline: Jeff's trips to the supermarket have left him with a crush on cashier Sandra. But will his latest walk down the produce aisle prove a recipe for love?

Observations: This story was told from the point of view of an adorable older man who is nervous about approaching his grocery store crush. Most of the story is just him thinking about all of the wonderful qualities Sandra has--her silver-streaked hair, her crow's feet, her perfume, her empathy and all the things they have in common. He's so love-struck, you find yourself really rooting for him to find his courage and ask Sandra out. Because this is a Woman's World story, of course he does, even if he does stammer a little.

Simply adorable!

I agree, Kate, this story is adorable. I so felt for this poor old guy trying to get his courage up to ask the cashier out.

Surprised by so much telling...but it worked and worked so well.
