Can a spoiled little dog bring two strangers together? The first time Jacke sees him, it’s a happy accident. He’s taken refuge in a quiet corner of the park, decompressing after a difficult day at work, when the man, dressed in a fancy suit, passes by him walking a spoiled little dog. As the days pass, Jacke notices the adorable pair several times. He’s unable to take his eyes off the man whose first priority is the dog, even over his own comfort. And one day, when circumstances are right, Jacke takes a chance and speaks to the man. David. David’s personality is as adorable as his outward appearance, and a short walk in the rain results in mutual attraction and a promise to see each other again. A second meeting in the park turns into a date, and Jacke starts longing for something he thought he’d never have; a partner. But does David feel the same? Will a chance meeting in the park turn into love?

They Met in the Park

As we sit there wrapped around each other, rain starts falling. It’s drumming lightly against the windows, the perfect soundtrack to the happy crackle of the video fireplace. David sighs and cuddles deeper into my arms until he’s plastered against me.


The moment is pure magic. Having David so close warms me up from the inside, and I don’t even miss the heat of a real fire. Lovely smells waft from the pot simmering away on the stove, adding to the cozy atmosphere. The rise and fall of David’s chest is so steady, so dependable, I let my eyelids fall closed.


He hums and buries his nose in my neck. “This okay?”


“I haven’t had a lot of practice, so I must be a natural,” I say.


He slides his hand up my chest, and rests it on my neck, his thumb stroking my jawline. “Look at me.”


I pull back just enough so I can meet his eyes.
