Fandango’s Story Starter

Susan’s gaze locked with the stranger’s across the crowded restaurant, and she was suddenly overwhelmed by a powerful emotion. It had been years since she felt that tingle, creeping up her body, and it was nice. Susan shifted in her seat and was surprised the man’s smile started to spread across his face, as if he knew exactly what she was feeling and that he caused it. She was embarrassed, thinking the strange man had control over her emotions. Susan’s face turned scarlet and she abruptly left the restaurant. On her way home riding the bus, she got out her paperback and hid her face, pretending to read. The feelings she experienced started to wane and at home she looked in the mirror and giggled.
