A LITTLE MYSTERIOUS

Chapter One
She’d seen him for the first time about eight weeks ago, when he strolled into the bar one night, an hour or so after dark. Every night since, he’d come in and sit on a stool where he could talk with her as she served customers. Every night, she couldn’t take her eyes off him.
The bar was on the high street, and its offerings attracted an eclectic mix of clientele. Alcohol was served, as well as coffee and tea from a range of exotic sounding blends that appealed to the people who worked in the offices around that part of town. Food was available––cold, well filled sandwiches on various breads, or hot bistro meals. Both were excellent, and the place did a great trade at lunchtime as well as in the evening. The bar hummed with happy, satisfied people.
None of the staff minded that Daisy occasionally stopped to talk with the man, even though he occupied a central stool, and never bought anything except a cup of coffee when he first arrived and a vodka cocktail about half an hour before he left.
Her boss, Ivor, joked. Daisy, the guy obviously likes you, although he’s a little mysterious. But hey, those two items he always buys add up, in the long run.
It took four weeks for the customer to speak to Daisy, apart from giving his two orders. During those weeks, as usual, he watched her serve at the bar and when he did, she felt his eyes on her. When she was out at the tables clearing the used dishes, she would secretly look at him. She found him so attractive her heartbeat would speed up whenever she saw him push the smoked glass door open, and enter the bar.
He was unusually pale. His short, spiked, hair was blond and his eyes a shade of ice blue so that the overall impression of him was ethereal. When he’d first walked in eight weeks ago, he wore square, black sunglasses. His overcoat was heavy, and also black. His collar was turned up and the sleeves were so long they almost covered his hands. The weather had warmed considerably since then. He kept the sunglasses, but now wore a lightweight black jacket over his black jeans.
Daisy liked the way his eyes were fringed with long dark eyelashes. She
