51 Love
by Jeremy T. Ringfield
GENRE: New Adult Contemporary
Romantic Suspense
BLURB:
This story is about
Abram, a hopeless romantic who enrolls into college and begins leaving love
notes for the girl, Jec, who works at the front desk of his student apartments.
About why they know each other when neither have even met. That's right, she
had seen his face only two weeks earlier, when he tossed his book bag in the
middle of the street, holding up traffic like a mad homeless man. But what she
doesn't know is that just before he came to grab his keys to move in, the
handsome albeit strange eyes and the person they belong to had just been
released from the county jail.
The jail cell talk
without any cameras around to record make his last 51 minutes in the pen with a
sketchy bunkmate a do or die conversation that may explain why he became
homeless, why he wrote the love letters in the first place, and if both were
random at all.

EXCERPT
As I go to hand him his key and re-washable cup, I remind
him that “the lobby coffee is free”, and he glances at my name tag.
I lazily connect my last sentence with the next, saying
“Jec, for short”.
He pauses, then shakes his head and asks “What if I want to
call you something different?”
I meet his eyes with a stare of my own, slow to respond,
blink, and say “It will be okay Abram.” His face scrunches for a moment and his
eyes look as though he is wondering straight through me. My glance falls deeper
into the hole of an eye, and I see a marble in the night, the dark side of a
full moon, which can be plucked right out of the sky to place a piece of the
void heaven filled should I grab it and tuck it into my pocket.
The ascension falling as the walls collapse to drop a cloud
in his ear, a long fiber weaves my wonder, wherefore out there did he discover?
And I conceived a thought of a single droplet, enough months
from now, falling into a gravitationally absent drip time has lost, and him
not.
Before I can tell if he eased his facial expression, he
walks off keys in hand without another word.
“See, I told you. Killer” Bobby says flatly, and I just
return to checking my emails.
