Ephemeral Encounter

by Mike Fontenot

Twenty-two, and famous – in the blink of an eye. One second, she’s just another university student – the next, she 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-five 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 close to fifteen years. He figures that 'safe' beats 'painful', every time... Two isolated individuals, existing in worlds different to the furthest possible extremes, whose paths cross during a chance encounter on a beach, on sunny summer 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...
