Jack and Jill, a Love Story

JILL: About 30. Never married. Had a few
short-lived relationships since graduating from college as a
landscape architect. Bright and emotionally together.
Well-educated, proprietor of a small successful landscape
and gardening business. Own and live in an enchanted little
house on a 100-acre farm. Desires a relationship with a man
who has similar values and will not suffer the company of a
man whose values conflict with mine. Manage my solitude
creatively and will not date for the sake of dating. Prefer
a male with whom I could commune with spiritually: a good
sense of humour; a bit "nuts" to be interesting and fun but
otherwise sensible and stable, financially and emotionally
self-sufficient, kind and good hearted. Raised by a
single-parent mother, an elementary school teacher. About
5'5". Dark brown eyes, auburn hair to my shoulders--a few
gray flecks-- that I cut by myself. Not considered
attractive and about 35-45 pounds over weight, healthy and
strong from doing physical labour. JACK: About 32, single,
never married. Well educated, an English major, but prefer
my career as a firefighter which gives me time to follow my
passion of writing. About 5'10", lean and trim, in good
physical condition. Eat intelligently and exercise
regularly. Have a strong sense of self from my spiritual
beliefs which I live by. Decisive! When appropriate, a great
sense of humour especially when I "let go". Raised by a
single-parent mother; helped financially by working after
school during the school term and on construction during the
summer. Was an honour student and on full scholarship
throughout college. They met on a blind date, chary at
first, quickly discovered the very essence of themselves. No
game-playing, fell in love, had kids and a good life. In
writing this novel, I found that I was close to my emotions:
I laughed, cried, became aroused and hope that the readers
will enjoy similar emotions.
