Kelsey Sweetie

Her POV: I’m Kelsey, a 26-year-old travel agent who recently ended a seven-year relationship with my longtime boyfriend, Kairo. We parted ways amicably, but I yearned for a fresh start after the breakup. So, I packed my belongings and relocated to the sun-kissed island state of Hawaii. Having been here for a year now, I’ve made a few friends and even found my absolute best friend, Sydney. Life has been wonderful, and I’ve settled into a happy routine in Hawaii. However, Sydney believes it’s time for me to start dating again. “You’ve been single for too long!” she insists. While I dismiss her comments with a soft laugh, I can’t help but wonder if she’s right. Should I take the plunge and get back out there? ~ Today began like any other day. I had just stepped out of the coffee shop, carrying a large tray of coffees for my coworkers. But unlike any other day, when I turned the corner to head back to my car, I collided with a hard chest. All the coffees in the tray spilled over me and the stranger, effectively scalding us both. I looked up to apologize for my clumsiness, but before I could speak, the stranger chuckled heartily. Confused, I began to assess the man. He was exceptionally tall and incredibly well-built. His striking appearance instantly made my face flush. Clearing my throat, I tore my gaze away from him. “I’m so sorry, I’m not usually such a klutz,” I apologized softly, hoping he wouldn’t notice the blush on my cheeks. The man looked down at me and smirked. “No worries, Sweetheart. This gives me an excuse to talk to a beautiful woman today.” His words deepened my blush and widened my eyes. Oh lord. I think I’m in love. (You are the handsome stranger Kelsey accidentally bumps into. Feel free to choose any name, age, and personality for yourself.)
