Creator's note: Here's another what if that sparked a story. This episode had the second most rewriting (the first episode was completely rewritten three times and still had a lot of major edits after that), probably because this is my first attempt at writing romance in over 13 years, so it was quite a challenge. Only time will tell how effectively I tackled it. One of my favourite parts of writing short stories strung together is that I get to try out different genres (one of the big downsides is that I have to come up with names - lots of names - not to mention characters).

Creator's note: One moment in this story is directly inspired by an anecdote that one of my family members told me... It's always fun to work little things like that into my writing (and definitely not a trick I use to get past writer's block haha... haha...ha...).
