They met on a reality TV show and fell in love but others conspired to keep them apart. When they met again six months later, would they still feel the same way?
Excerpt:
"Later on, they would laugh about that moment. When he turned around and they faced each other at the same time. The background noise of the bar faded to gentle hum, the faces of the people blurred, They stood alone trying to make sense of this bizarre connection that they had which drew them together even though they knew little about each other, did not seem to have much in common and people kept telling them that they were not suited.
Dove, unaware she was even doing so, lifted her little hand and placed it on his hard chest. .She could feel its movement as he breathed and underneath, his pounding heart.
"Ok, I have a solution." she said casually as if discussing the weather, as if they had been talking forever.
"Oh?" Panther moved closer, hypnotised by her eyes and the words coming out of her luscious mouth. He watched her tongue as it peeped out nervously to wet her bottom lip.
"So.." she hesitated.
"Yes?" his calloused hand raised to cover her soft, smooth one, still resting on his chest.
"Erm.."
Panther took hold of her hand and held it gently. He pushed himself off the bar, against which he had been leaning and raised his other hand, wrapping his large fingers around hers. Dove took a deep breath.
"Come back to mine."

I'm experimenting a bit with this book - I am deliberately vague about the location of the characters and I have given them names of animals and birds, so they translate easily into any language.
I'd like to know if people are imagining their own city/town and their own culture when they read the story. And if not, where do you think the characters live?
