Whether written centuries ago or just last year, literary couples show that love is timeless.
Every Day at Seven o'Clock
Henry Cummings was not the most social person ever to grace the planet. As a former community college professor, he had perfected his daily routine over nearly thirty years. Classes had been in the morning, he had read and graded class work such as papers and exams in the afternoon, and then he had gone home around four o'clock. A light dinner then had followed. Everyone had known not to disturb him past seven o'clock, even his wife Charlotte when she had been alive. In that way, reading had been the passion where he had always allowed himself indulgence.

The Telltale Traits
“But how can you tell?” “Well, you can’t,” Rob said, running a hand through his hair. It stuck up on end like he’d been electrocuted. It made him look just as crazy as he sounded. “That’s the whole point, that you can’t. Unless they mess up. Justin Bieber messed up. Justin Bieber transformed into a lizard in front of thousands of people in Australia.”

Baby Birds
The sky was a blue so light that George laughed to himself, thinking about God accidentally mixing in too much white paint and hoping no one would notice. It was one of those mornings that came once every year just to tell you that Spring had arrived. George sat with Hattie outside, both of them slumped over on the last step of the tiny, wooden staircase like lazy, sunbathing dogs. Hattie thought about the sun and how the warmth of that morning or maybe just that time of every morning was hard to describe; It was hot and sticky, but it didn’t weigh you down. The early sun was friendlier than the one they were used to coming home to in the mid-afternoon.

Once Upon a Boy Band
Kaylee Henderson thought that she was just buying a ten-dollar bottle of Merlot at the supermarket right before heading home for the night. After two glasses, she mindlessly scrolled through her social media accounts for a sense of purpose, only finding ads for shapewear and too many heated opinions about world politics. Before clicking off for the night, she saw one of her favorite influencers was having a giveaway for a one-on-one meeting with the up-and-coming boy band Kiss & Tell, the members of whom could have easily been her little brothers fresh out of college. A giggle bubbled out of her mouth before she added a comment of her own: These boys look delicious enough to eat! And of course she had to add a string of heart-eyed emojis for good measure. Only after sharing the post for the giveaway did she sink back against her sheets and fall into a dreamless slumber.

A great place for dreams to happen, although they do not happen overnight. The road for Jade is no different.

The Sommelier's Wife
Marianne Lefleur had not expected to become a widow at the age of thirty-five. Though her husband had not been world-famous in his work as a sommelier, he had been expected to rise through the ranks after gaining a few clients in the burgeoning wine business in the United States. He had even become a consultant to a few celebrities and their organizations' events, thanks to connections he had made with other sommeliers after he and Marianne had traded France for California. Despite being in his late forties, Frederick Lefleur had had the world at his feet at the time of his death, only to have it all snatched away too soon by—of all things—a drunk driver.

All the big moments
It was a black cat with a white mask and, as it sat on the back porch, it looked like a burglar. All about her the suburb hummed with distant vehicles. The brick and timber houses were hedged with rhododendrons and cotoneasters, with their red berries, or overlooked by white eucalypts, some of them survivors from the recent days when all this was forest.
