It was almost midnight when Sara tried her best to leave the party. The hostess Alice insisted she stay for one more drink. There was a man she wanted Sara to meet. She swore they would make the perfect match. “He is always late. But he’ll be here soon.” She explained.
But truthfully being late was not something Sara would consider a positive characteristic and she didn’t see what waiting around would help.
Sara slowly sipped her drink; already feeling the effects of the others she drank during the evening. This wasn’t the first time Alice insisted on fixing her up with a remote stranger. She’d been doing this ever since Sara bought the house down the street and Alice discovered she was single.
So far there had been no spark between Sara and the men Alice thought were perfect for her. But still she sipped her drink, watched the others who seemed to be having a grand old time, and waited. She looked again at her watch, but time was not moving at all.
Just as she was about the set her glass down and say goodnight, her eyes met his.
Ding!

Thanks to @snook for this super cool gif!
Once you come to a party, you can never leave hehe like Hotel California and that can be scary or exciting and a story worth telling. Upvoted. I like your post. I'm Oatmeal.
This is true! It is always hard to leave a party early. Thanks for reading and the upvote.
Oh - and what happened??????
I don't know! I was thinking of them saying, "You?" and then there be some back story how they upset each other earlier in the week! That way they don't hit it off right away and you have to wait till the end to be sure they get together. :D
hmm. That sounds interesting. You need to start writing some romance novels :)
That was the dream for me to write for Harlequin Romance, but they are very picky!!! :D
I love this! For years I was that girl they tried to set up! No, late isn't a quality I like, either but darn! Don't leave us hanging and ping me if you keep it going! The end is too much!
Ha ha. Thanks for reading! I will let you know if I stretch it out a bit!
Ha! Admit it, you had an evil little laugh at the thought of us reading this and then wanting more, didn't you? Luckily, I've never had the pleasure of having to suffer through multitudes of set ups! (Brisby counts her blessings!)
