Sunlight on skin, camera rollin'. Pure bliss. ✨📸

The Scene: A bustling summer evening at a local farmers market. Strings of fairy lights twinkle amongst stalls overflowing with colorful produce and artisan goods. The air smells of ripe peaches, grilled corn, and maybe-just-a-hint-of-woodsmoke.

The Story:

The cart was overloaded, naturally. Not with much – justes leches (the perfect ones!), but enough that Mateo almost tripped over his own feet every time he turned around. He hummed along to a Spanish guitar playing from a nearby stall, adjusting the stack of perfectly chilled jugs with practiced ease. For three years, this had been their routine - a little corner of the city’s best market, selling his family’s homemade yogurt and honey. It wasn’t always easy; sometimes the heat felt like a persistent hug, other times the crowds were too many, but tonight…tonight felt good.

Then she walked by.

Not that they hadn’t seen her before, not exactly. Clara had been a regular for months, usually with her scruffy terrier, Pip, who wore a perpetually optimistic expression despite being slightly terrified of everything. But tonight, she seemed a bit more distracted than usual, nodding politely as she chose between plump blueberries and sweet strawberries. Maybe that was because she'd been bundled up in a cozy scarf today, looking particularly beautiful against the golden light.

Tonight, though, she stopped right in front of Mateo’s cart. She smiled, a genuine smile that reached her bright blue eyes, and pointed to the honeysuckle drizzle. “That looks delicious,” she said, her voice soft, easily lost among the chatter of the vendors.

Mateo, momentarily stunned out of his rhythm, nearly dropped a jug of honey. His cheeks flushed rose color as he grinned, a little clumsy, a little charmingly so. "Of course," he replied, gesturing to the jars with a slightly wobbly hand. "It's our Honeycomb Delight."

A slight hesitation, then a hesitant nod. They didn’ - quite realize how long they spent staring, each other captivated. She picked up a small glass jar, turning it over in her hands, a tiny furrow in her brow as if considering its perfection.

Pip, oblivious to all the romantic tension, decided to investigate a dangling string of garlic bulbs. He bumped into her ankle.

“Oh!” she laughed, a lovely sound, and barely noticed as she handed Mateo a five euro note.

As she headed off towards the cheese vendor, a single drop of peach juice landed on her cheek. Mateo caught it, a silent question in his eye. She tilted her head, laughing again, and brushed it away with the back of her hand.

Now, there was a simple way to find out if she wanted another scoop of drizzled heaven...

Your Turn! Now, let us know:
