Page 5 of Love at First Flight
Kadence
When she was younger, Kadence Reeves was full of fanciful notions about dating and love, she knew exactly what she wanted in a man.
For one, she wanted him to be tall, but not too tall as she herself was only five foot nothing.
Two, she wanted him to have dark brown hair and three, and most important of all, for him to not be overbearing.
That was it. She wanted to live her life and have him be part of it, but not overtake her decisions.
She knew it was a long shot, and that was why she hadn’t found him yet.
She had gone on a few dates in high school with a few boys that she assumed would fit the profile she had in her head, but they were all duds and she didn’t accept a second date, nor did she let them have anything from her, such as a kiss.
Two had tried and she had shut it down fast. She wasn’t about that and didn’t like it.
In fact, to this day, being twenty three, almost twenty four, she hadn’t yet kissed anyone.
She hated that knowledge and wanted a kiss so badly. Not just any kiss though, one that would take her breath away and blow any of the other kisses she had seen on television out of the water.
She would daydream about it when she worked in the store and while she sewed or worked on the dresses that she had lined up.
Arielle would be so far gone in her work that she never noticed Kadence not working as quickly, stuck in her fanciful dreaming.
Kadence kept her thoughts of love and her perfect man locked deep down and truly wanted to believe she was actually quite content in her life.
She loved her job with Arielle sewing and creating the dresses that made the little girl’s dreams come true and she loved dressing up as a princess when she was needed.
With her blonde hair that hung to her waist in soft ringlets, she would often go as Rapunzel, Aurora, Elsa, or her personal favorite, Tinkerbell.
In fact, being that small sprite was something she looked forward to the most.
She had gone more than once with Arielle to the children’s hospital and had taken pictures with the kids there.
They had all different kinds of sicknesses and it broke her heart to see them in such pain, but those kids had an inner strength that was something else. They were always so full of hope and love.
It was her favorite thing to do and her favorite place to visit. They hadn’t had the time to go lately, as their business was booming and it was busy for them to keep up with, but she longed to go back.
Lately she felt she needed to go and soak up their hope, their love.
It helped with her loneliness. Either she needed to go see those sweet souls, or she needed to book a party. She loved going to see those sweet girls as well.
They always truly believed you were that princess and it was a feeling unlike any other to see that they believed in the magic still.
It was a feeling that she missed. She hoped it would change soon.
She came to the store early knowing that they had a long day of last minute costumes to sell and she was excited.
Until the stupid man from the real estate company came around.
He was young, maybe in his early twenties and he had dark brown hair, and brown eyes.
But while he had the hair color of the man of her dreams, he wasn’t it.
He was nice enough to them, but she was good and done with all the demands and the refusals to listen.
With how they wouldn’t take no for an answer and Arielle had told her more than once that she was fed up as well.
So when he came today, she was ready for him, her attitude showing through with her annoyance and she had threatened him with the police if he didn’t leave them alone.
