Anywhere

Today, as I was thinking about my blessed friends, I thought about the improbability of so much love I see everyday. A short prose dedicated to love (intimate and not) that comes to us:

Two sisters are separated by fate to opposite sides of the world. One is born on the East Coast of the United States. The other is born in China. They have forgotten the other exists during birth. Both are brilliant, have excellent memory, love at first sight, are hard-working bums, and trust their closest friends whole-heartedly. The Chinese sister goes to an American University, and the two meet at dinner. They are instantly best friends and sisters again.

David has drifted from bars to nightclubs and even to Zumba dancing trying to find the right girl. He is rumored to be a serial dater, though he just can't find his click. As the rumors spread, the "wrong kind" of people vie for his heart. He has a great job and a big house, so all those fish in the sea seem to be full of sunnies. His great job sends him to Tanzania and Kenya for research, where he falls instantly in love with a villager. She does not have internet or phone and has no idea what kind of house he owns. These lovers, thousands of miles apart, are together again.

Jarrod's lover is not nearly as far as China or Kenya. In fact, Ryan lives in his county. Jarrod is a loner and a quiet man, though, preferring online chatrooms to venturing out finding his soul mate. Unfortunately, this lifestyle draws the attention of police as they try to hunt down a credit card thief. Jarrod's suspicious online activities land him in jail for three days until the police find the actual suspect. Ryan is in jail for drug possession. He and Jarrod meet, and they stay in touch. Fate is met again.

Cynthia has been having trouble conceiving. This makes her irritable, and she has grown distant from her wealthy family. People avoid her until she is no longer invited to the more minor family gatherings, though she watches the social networks once in a while to see what she's missing. She notices her 14-year old is pregnant and scared. Cynthia's sister is furious. Cynthia takes her niece in and takes the child as her own. They relocate to a nice, quiet suburbia, and her niece can goes on to nursing school while Cynthia raises her own little boy.
