A Century21 Love Story

Chapter 1: Beginnings In the bustling heart of Manhattan, Century21 Department Store stood as a retail beacon with endless aisles and bustling customers. Among the sea of employees and shoppers, two souls were destined to cross paths. Constances was a vibrant young woman with a smile as bright as the neon lights outside. On the other side was Mahlik a charming yet reserved man who had been with the store for a few months before Constances arrival. His quiet demeanor masked a heart of gold, and it was this heart that was about to encounter Constances. Their first meeting was anything but extraordinary. As Constances got a feel for the workspace, she was introduced to Mahlik by a mutual friend. Though there was rarely time to mingle, they always made time to exchange pleasantries to make each other smile or laugh, anything to help the long day go a little faster. Chapter 2: Growing Friendship Months later, Constances and Mahlik found themselves working the same shifts more often. They began exchanging friendly banter, discussed their favorite foods and movies, and shared stories about their lives outside of work. One day, Mahlik realized they had similar closing shifts and asked Constances to exchange numbers. Their conversations started lingering longer, and their laughter and smiles became routine for their interactions. Their formed bond was natural and effortless. Despite their growing friendship, neither of them crossed the line into romance. They were content to share moments of camaraderie and mutual respect. The idea of dating never came up, partly because they both valued their friendship too much to risk it. Chapter 3: The Turning Point One evening, after an enthusiastic conversation about a pizza cutter, Mahlik asked Constances if she was familiar with Koronet Pizza near where she lived. She replied "No", and Mahlik made it his responsibility to make sure when they had free time, that would be a place they’d visit together. The offer was casual, but there was something different about it. Maybe it was their love for good food or the warmth of Mahlik's smile. She agreed, and they ended up going a few days later, enjoying the largest pizza they could imagine and sharing stories that went beyond the store’s walls. That night, as they talked about their dreams and fears, something shifted. The line between friendship and something more began to blur. Constances was drawn to Mahlik in a way she hadn’t before. His kindness and understanding reached deep into her heart. Chapter 4: The Realization Over the next few years they would continue to keep in touch. Though they may have went time without seeing each other, every time they did connect, something felt right. Their friendship blossomed into something more profound. They began spending time together outside of work—going to movies and exploring new restaurants. Their connection deepened, and both Constances and Mahlik realized they were falling in love. After one particular date to the movies they began to share their feeling for each other and it was at this moment they realized they had a mutual love for each other. It was finally time to explore the relationship that they'd suppressed for so long. A few dates later over that summer, they shared their first kiss at one of Mahlik's favorite restaurant. At that moment, their relationship would shift and mark the chapter of their new beginning together. Chapter 5: A Future Together From that day on, their relationship grew stronger. Their bond once grounded in friendship, now thrived on a deeper connection of love and trust. They navigated life’s challenges together, supporting each other through joyous and difficult times. As the years passed, their love story continued to unfold. Mahlik eventually proposed to Constances at Niagara Falls, where they had their first trip together. With a simple, heartfelt proposal, he asked her to spend the rest of her life with him. Constances, with excitement in her eyes, said Yes!
