On paper, we’re a mismatch. Online, he already feels like home.
Every February, I organize the Sweetheart Post—Huckleberry Hill’s anonymous Valentine exchange. No apps. No algorithms. No swiping. Just old-fashioned letters, a human-made match, and two weeks of messaging before the couples meet in person.
None of them have ever been addressed to me.
This year I'm too busy saving the Sweetheart Stroll to play Cupid, so the Golden Grandmas take over in a big way. Judy and Joyce find a test letter I made long ago and send it to a stranger.
I intend to withdraw my heart.
Then he writes back and I never want our conversations to end. Before we’ve exchanged photographs or spent a minute in the same room, this man begins to feel like someone I’ve known forever.
The attraction is instant. So is the complication.
Franklin Blake is a remote wildland firefighter, and his risk assessment is the final hurdle between me and approval for the Sweetheart Stroll. He’s also a man accustomed to going wherever his next assignment takes him, while my roots in Huckleberry Hill run deeper than the town gossip.
When the fourteen days end and Franklin’s assignment does too, will our instant connection survive the real world—or will forever prove impossible to find after all?
