What's a penny worth? Do you ignore the ones lying on the sidewalk because they're not worth picking up? For the shy and clumsy Norah, a penny will become so much more than a simple cent. Every morning she enters the elevator of her office building and hides among the throng of professionals sandwiching inside. From behind their shoulders, she's safe to hopelessly stare at Cole Collins... or at least get a glimpse of the back of his well-trimmed hair---the hair she dreams of running her fingers through. When a loud and obnoxious office Temp decides to barge her way into Norah's life, they develop a friendship that might be exactly what she needs to change up her luck with love. And it all starts with picking up a penny.

By societies standards, Elizabeth Steele is a low life with no worth. She has no home, no money, no life. No value. Moving from alley to alley every night, scavenging through the streets, she keeps her own and stays away from anyone in anyway that she can, using her mask of imperfections to ward off any unwanted attention. Simplicity is her armor and detachment is her sword. But how long can she go on before being an outcast becomes too much and the walls she's devoted her time to building come crashing down? Glass is only so fragile as the one thing it's supporting, and when Elizabeth's heart is so delicate that all that is left to protect it is a clear and thin sheet of glass, there is no telling when or how quickly it will break. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Highest Ranking #6 in Short Story
