"L" is for Love?


His brand new light pistachio green $800 Hugo Boss suit gleamed off the cars on the street. It was enough to catch the eye of anyone with a remote sense of fashion. His cool suave hair was gelled back but just messy enough to have the "superman" piece fall onto his forehead as he tried to beat the light at the crosswalk. He maneuvered between the cars just trying to get to the cafe. He dipped left, and swerved right to avoid his suit getting dirty. From afar, it looked like a dance. He delved into his movements and even got a bit cocky when suddenly, his beautiful pant leg got caught on the license plate of a car. He tried to wiggle his leg loose but lost the battle and ripped the pant in the shape of the letter "L." Embarrassed and frustrated, the young man covered his leg proceeding to walk to the cafe with a forced limp. His leg wasn't hurt, but his pride was certainly a bit damaged. Especially because beyond the doors of the cafe, his group of friends were giggling uncontrollably at his mishap. Amongst that group of supportive people, was his future wife to be.
---And he had, chosen a chance at love.
