I loved the surprise ending! I was led down the path you thought I would be and then popped the surprise. Great writing and I thoroughly enjoyed. Good luck in the contest. I did see one minor spag:
as himself. shouldn't that be 'as he'?

Comment from Jeano
I usually read all the stories or poems in a contest before I comment on them, and only comment on the three I like best. Well, if you don't have a winner with this one, I will be very surprised. Good luck! Now I need to go back and read the rest. I always love a good surprise ending. A little extra bling t'boot!

I thought you were writing for the romance contest. I was to say he was prett;y superficial if he let a few missing pieces scare him away, but now the see what the contest calls for I'd saye this sounds like a winner.

Oh no! And it seemed like such a sweet relationship was developing. Although I wasn't sure that a summer vegetable stand could lead to marriage that quickly. But apparently, not everything is as it seems. Poor Valerie!

Thank you. Reviewers demanded I give them another chance, so there is part 2 (pt 3 coming).

I'll have a look into it, but this fits the contest, perfectly. Not everything has a happy ending in this life.
Comment from jessizero
This story was captivating and entertaining. I was horrified that he misunderstood her words. I look forward to seeing what happens next. Thank you for sharing, and best wishes to you.

There wasn't going to be a 'next'. It was a contest entry, but...
Thank you for your very nice review.
Comment from Debbie D'Arcy
Oh don't you tease us, Wayne! This is a great story drawing us into this romance, lazily believing it was going have a happy ending. And then you drop this bombshell which is both funny and tragic in equal measure! But what a great entry for this prompt! I don't think we're going to get the answers to Valerie's balding, toothless condition though. Well done and good luck! Debbie

Thank you.
I might succumb to the clamor for a happier ending. But what if the ending to the sequel is even worse? You know writings often dictate themselves. (smiley face here)
Comment from Pam Lonsdale
NO! This is not a happy ending, Wayne! I wanted a happy ending:-(
I liked this - enjoyed reading and thought it was charming - but you REALLY must write a follow-up now . . . they need to get together. And tell us why she's wearing a wig (cancer?) and why she has no teeth (gum disease). Their separation is based on a misunderstanding. This must be fixed, Wayne, lol!
I look forward to your NEXT installment of this love story:-)

Comment from Dawn Munro
Scoundrel. Rogue. Flibberty-gibbert. (HAHAHAHAHA -- just kidding.)
This was great, and that ending -- a complete surprise, which is always refreshing. Poor Val. Poor other Val. LOL. I'm not sure which one I pity more.

I'm sure, somehow, they straightened it all out.

Comment from Carol Hillebrenner
So, she has a few health problems, or could she be much older than he suspected? I hope he can bring himself not to avoid her the next time he sees her at the farmers' market. They do need to discuss a few things.
