Sophie comes from a relatively poor background and in order to support her family, must take on multiple jobs at a time. It is during her night shift at the local café Ozzies that she encounters something out of the ordinary. Her schedule is normally the same day in day out: wake up, work, pick sister up from school, cook dinner, sleep. It's been like this for years now, ever since her parents died in that hit and run accident a couple of years ago. However, when leaving the café on what seems to be an ordinary night she encounters what could only happen in the movies. After bumping into a tall figure on her way to the school, Sophie's world was bound to change forever. The problem was, was it for the better or worse?

"Ow!" I exclaimed, rubbing my forehead. While I had been walking, I had been so caught up in my own mind that I hadn't been looking where I was going. It turns out I had careered right into a wall! How clumsy, I thought, frowning at my stupidity. Wait a second.
I stopped.
That wall was rather soft. It smelt quite good as well.
oh no!
Giddily, I raised my head to find my eyes transfixed upon the most beautiful, the most entrancing, tie? Remembering my 5'2 height I scolded myself. Not everyone's your size remember! Lifting my gaze a tiny bit more (cue the height jokes) I found some sexy man candy staring back at me. And by god he was beautiful! Inside i fist pumped my inner clutz for finding such a hottie.
