This story is was written for a contest where what was written had to be based on a fairy tale or legend. I chose the legend of the Duende and wove in a bit of cupid. It's not my usual fair, but it was fun to write. Sydney was not looking for love when she set off on a relaxing cruise. A Belize duende, think fairy, named Itzel had other ideas. She was determined to find Syd a man. It was a matter of necessity. She could only graduate from Cupid School if she helped a couple find love, and she had three days to do it.
