Until You

by Ana Tejano

(A short story)

When Charlie Ronquillo finds herself short-staffed for a couple of days, she finds help in the most unexpected person: Sid Agustin, her fruit and vegetable supplier, who was also the same guy who recently ghosted her. Left with no choice, she lets him help and discovers that there was more to their failed date than she knew. Will Charlie give this attraction another chance, or is it better to close the door and forget everything about it?
