The Oak Tree

Frustrated at work, Ava heads to her local park every lunch break for peace and quiet. The canopy of the large oak becomes her sanctuary, until one day she finds another person in her spot.

Chase figured the only way he could get her attention was to sit right under her nose. Ava captivated him. Why did she sit under that tree every day? Why not any other tree in the park. and why did she always have that frown on her face? He had to find out what she'd look like with a smile.

This is a short story that I wrote for a local competition that has now closed.
