If/Then by John W. Howell © 2016
“If I told you that I love you what would you do?”
“If you said that, I’d wonder what you’re up to.”
“Aw come on. You know I like you.”
“Like is one thing. Love is another.”
“Okay, I’ll keep my thoughts to myself.”
“So what thoughts do you have.”
“I think I will keep them to myself.”
“Oh, pouting are we?”
“No. I just don’t want you to get spooked.”
“I don’t spook easily.”
“Let’s just say I want you to know I care for you.”
“That is so sweet.”
“Thank you, I think. Do we have a future?”
“We can hang out until we know each other better. I’ll answer you then.”

Awww. That start of a beautiful relationship. I’m imagining it being in a jail between cellmates because it makes me chuckle. 😛

Nicely done, John. Ending with the word ‘then’ – I think that means you get extra bonus points!

I think these are Like S&H Green Stamps. You’re going to need about 18 books for a beer, John.

I like this one, because the characters came to life so quickly. All your stuff is amazing, but this one is even better.
