An Exercise in Love and Happiness

Write a 500-word fragment of fiction about a happy couple who try to solve a simple mystery. Tell us the story from the point of view of only one member of this couple. Maybe they’re in the early bloom of love, or maybe they’ve been together quite a while. The fact that they’re in love and relatively happy is not what concerns this piece of narrative, but the way these two people (man and man, woman and woman, or woman and man) work together is crucial to the resolution of the problem at the heart of the story.
