When Elias Król competed in the El Paso Decathlon on an
August day in 1978, he was proud to take first place. Little did he know the
best prize wasn't his hard-won trophy; it was the bond he would form with the
sweet young woman taking his order at the fried chicken booth.
Madison Sanders wasn't looking for love while working at her
family's concession stand, but love was about to find her in the form of a
lanky red-haired athlete.
This short and sweet interracial romance with a guaranteed
Happy Ever After is part of a developing series but it can also stand on its
own. With a very low heat rating and no profanity, it is appropriate for both
teen and adult readers.
Excerpt
When asked on his fortieth wedding anniversary what had
initially attracted him to his wife, Elias Król did
not hesitate to say that it was her smile. The Yoakam native had just taken
first place in the decathlon at the big all-state track and field competition. Now
it was time for him to relax and celebrate.
The smell wafting from the food vendor carts drew Elias in.
He didn’t want to eat too much too quickly after his 1500-meter sprint, but he
thought it would be nice to have a cool drink to sip and a little something to
nibble on. The lanky ginger’s body was full of adrenaline and a welcome breeze
made him feel like he was riding high on a cool wave above the clouds.
As he crested the hill approaching the food vendors, Elias
heard melodic laughter, and that was when he saw her. He knew that the fare
from Shack’s Famous Chicken was killer, but it wasn’t the tantalizing scent of
savory meat moving his feet towards the booth. It was the glorious ebony
queen’s enticing smile and welcoming aura.
She was a big girl, and as such Elias knew that she’d experienced
more than her fair share of bullying, but it didn’t stop her from dishing up
happiness with every order she served. Her co-workers were a melancholy young
man who the kind-hearted angel was making it her mission to cheer up and an
eager chap who had Down syndrome. Everyone who stopped at the booth left with a
smile.
“I probably shouldn’t be eating fried chicken, but what the
heck?” Elias reasoned. “She’s all lovely laughter and licorice, and I want to
be close to her, even if only for a moment.”
