      The following is a FREE short story edited by the author himself. If you see any glaring mistakes, I apologize in advance and hope you don’t take it out on my poor characters, who had nothing to do with their author’s bad grammar!

      Happy reading… and Happy Valentine’s Day!

      Conversation Hearts:

      A Romantic Valentine’s Day Story

      The kid is red-faced, limping and drenched in sweat. He’s wearing a matching sweat suit and old sneakers and a headband and he’s been walking up and down the sidewalk beneath my office window for the last forty minutes.

      Normally I wouldn’t notice, but this latest book cover design is giving me no end of trouble and so I keep staring past my computer monitor, outside my window, spotting him huffing, wheezing and limping by downstairs.

      He’s a neighborhood kid, lives a few doors down from me with his Mom. Shy kid, quiet, keeps to himself mostly. I see him going to and from school, say Hi to him in the mailroom or if I’m coming back from the pool and he’s taking out the trash.

      Sweet enough
