Setting up a little pop-up table in front of The Paper Realm bookstore had been a way to get in some new customers for my baking business and celebrate today's tiny holiday.

Halfway through the day, though, Vincent stopped by my table.

They were tall and academic, with a narrow waist and a long coat, looking every ounce a delicious professor.

Turns out, their sister owns the bookshop, and Vincent likes my trifle enough to ask me on a date.

I have to say yes, but can it lead to something real, too?
