He Reminded Her of Possibilities

She saw dandelion guy on his usual corner. He is there every year during Octoberfest. Laughing and joking with people. She usually stayed away from him. He seemed too happy to be real. This year she felt differently about him. She approached him for the first time. He had the kindest brown eyes up close. She could not help but think of a happily ever after. Then his wife came up with their baby and introduced herself. Dream gone in an instant, but it was a portal to taking chances.
