  • Cupid's Little Helper

    I had to do it. She doesn’t know it, but she’ll absolutely ensnare some guy’s heart someday, make him gasp and smile and turn 5 shades of red and wonder how in the world no one ever noticed her before. She’s a sleeper agent of Cupid walking in plain sight. One day Cupid will wake up the right guy with an arrow prick, he’ll meet her, and BOOM everyone will wonder how they never noticed her. Because once a face like that is lit up by love, you can’t help but be drawn in by it. But for now, it remains shrouded in wishes and mystery.

    And yes, I’d love to lurk in the corner without blowing my cover, not letting anyone know what I’ve noticed. We’re not supposed to be helping Cupid, we only watch, not participate. We send our reports to Cupid, and he decides who gets pricked. Those are the rules.

    But when I saw her giving up, I had to do something, I had to come out of the shadows. And so the mission is still ongoing, and Cupid’s sleeper agent will still walk the halls of her college with her goofy grin and awkwardness and youthful idealism. And maybe that innocence and naivety will be long gone before the right guy shows up, and maybe that’s for the best. But she’s still a heart-stealer who doesn’t know it yet, and I won’t let her drown her own heart in despair before she can steal someone else’s. Take that, Cupid, and don’t say I never did nothing for you. Now back to the shadows I go.

    Old blog fragment I had--I forget who this was about now.
