Hell Is Paved With Good Intentions

The winter morning was excessively cold in Fortworth city center. Elena was dressed in a coat and wore long boots; yet her beauty as she exited her grandfather’s old beetle was undeniable. She walked into the office with elegance, greeting her favorite receptionist, Miss Mia Lawley.

“Good morning, Mia”, she said with a simple smile. Her smile could make any person stop in their tracks and just stare with adoration.

“Morning professor Grant” Mia responded with an even greater smile, “you look jaw dropping even in the cruelest of weathers, I envy you.”

“Oh, please Mia, you flatter me all the time, if I had a penny for all the sweet nothings you sell daily” Elena responded blushing.

“Now that you are flattered, please don’t forget to bring me souvenirs from the conference, and maybe convince Dr Connell to marry me during his spare time.”
