Shoe-ing away unhappiness!

Lily pulled out the cream colored stilettos from the shoe box. They had been kept neatly wrapped in tissue, for a deserving occasion. The shoes were almost 5 years old, but the creamy faux animal skin looked brand new. Looking at those shoes brought back a lot of memories - these were shoes she had worn during the good times, for dances and late night parties, for romantic walks in the park and of course when John proposed to her 2 years back. But those good times were over- what she had with John was over, the relationship she had invested several years on was over. She quickly dressed, picking out an outfit to match the shoes and got into the car.

She could feel the butterflies in her stomach as she walked into the restaurant. Her eyes immediately went to the floor- She started to observe people's feet. She saw hardy leather boots and worn out tennis shoes. Open toed heels and even a pair of bedroom slippers - the kind with a big fat loony toons character on top. Her eyes moved quickly from one pair of feet to another until they stopped at a pair of new brown penny loafers! When she looked up, she saw that the owner of the penny loafers was a young man with deep brown hair and gentle eyes- he was also looking at feet. When he saw her stilettos, he looked up and smiled.

She had been hesitant about going on a blind date- she had been even more hesistant when her date suggested they identify each other by their shoes. But now that she was here, she was rather excited. So she took a deep breath and walked over to her date. This was her new beginning and she was starting it with her cream colored stilettos... hoping for more good times and hoping for much happier endings.
