Kiss and Tell

It's a busy day at the market, and Nora is busily setting up her display of paintings. She's hopeful that today will be a good day for sales, but the crowd is distracted, bustling past her stall without a second glance.

As she arranges her paintings, her thoughts drift to Alex and their unexpected kiss. She can't help but smile, her cheeks warming at the memory.

But then, a woman approaches her stall, a potential customer.

"Hello there," the woman says, her tone friendly and upbeat. "I love your paintings! They're so beautiful."

Nora smiles, happy for the compliment. "Thank you so much! I'm glad you like them," she replies. "Is there any one in particular that caught your eye?"

The woman's gaze flickers across the paintings, pausing for a moment on a vibrant landscape painting of the countryside. "This one is just stunning," she says.I'll take it," she says, reaching into her purse for her wallet.
