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

Who knew kissing could be so wonderful?


He slides his hands lower on my back, resting them right above the waistline of my jeans. He lifts his head so he can kiss me on the lips, the corner of my mouth. My cheek. My jaw.


When he lies back down, he says, “We have dinner. Cuddle some more. Decide when to see each other next. When you’re about to head home, I kiss you until your toes curl and there’s no risk of you forgetting me or changing your mind. You text me when you get home, maybe even send a picture of yourself so I have something to look at as I fall asleep. I dream of you, and I can’t wait another second to talk to you when I wake up, so I call. You talk even less early in the morning, but you’re happy I called. And we both agree we can’t wait to see each other so we meet the momentwe’re both off work and youkiss meuntil mytoes curl. And then we live happily ever after.”
