Caught

It had been love at first sight…

Or at least love at first sight of a toppling, glittering, unfortunately-shaped mascot.

Charlie had spent months trying to pretend that his heart wasn’t broken, but it was really hard to pretend he was fine when he was surrounded by love-struck couples.

He didn’t know what the hell was in the water, but the freaking Gold seemed to breed happy endings.

Like a fungus.

Whatever. He was done with love.

Until that giant, glittering mascot had toppled over, its head falling off to reveal the woman within.

And he fell, right then and there.
