This is just a quick little love story. It’s a slightly expanded version of a writers challenge where a 1,000-word story had to include portions of lyrics from several different songs. That’s why certain scenes may seem a bit forced, like the bar room. This story has references to 5 songs. If you’re the type that enjoys this sort of thing, name as many as you can in the comments. Fair warning—several are quite obscure. Have fun!
