Ephemeral Encounter

by Mike Fontenot

Twenty-four, and famous – in the blink of an eye. One second, your basic university student – the next, her face is recognized by everyone in Great Britain. Not something easily dealt with, by a farm-raised, country girl, from Wales. When her tumultuous life begins to spiral completely out of control, she abandons it – and disappears. Completely. Forty years old, single, and comfortable in his life. Well… comfortable for the most part… One bad decision in his past, brought him to isolate himself, lock-down his heart, and remain single – for over ten years. ‘Safe’ beats ‘painful’, every time… Two isolated individuals, existing in worlds different to the furthest extremes, whose paths cross during a chance encounter on a beach, on sunny morning. But wait… ‘love at first sight’, doesn’t really happen… does it? Are you bold enough to follow your heart on a whim, and see where it leads you? Rhiain and Marshall do exactly that. Join them on a trip across continents, and across time, as they discover the simplicity and joy of falling in love…
