Romance
Beneath the Willow Tree
It was raining when Maya first saw Elias. She was seventeen and was sitting in the middle of the park under a willow tree, clutching a wet paperback and cursing the weather. She couldn't get home without getting completely soaked because her umbrella had broken in the wind. That's when tall, quiet Elias showed up, holding a red umbrella like a sword of salvation. His voice was as soft as the rain and he said, "You look like you could use a rescue." She was startled and looked up. He smiled with genuine warmth, not in a mocking manner. He moved closer without waiting for her response and extended the umbrella to cover them both. "This is Elias." “Maya.”
