~3 min read

Exhausted after a long day, nineteen-year-old Anwar Olimbo is greeted by his married neighbor, Helen Barlow, whose warm request for a small favor draws him into the intimate, three-story sanctuary of her home. Between playful teasing and lingering glances, a charged attraction builds, promising something far more passionate than either anticipated.

MEET THE CHARACTERS

Anwar Olimbo

A 19-year-old college freshman with tired eyes and a backpack slung over one shoulder, his lean frame carrying the weight of a long commute. He moves with the deliberate slowness of someone whose brain is still full of lecture notes, but his gaze sharpens the moment he sees her—a shift from exhaustion to electric awareness. The late afternoon sun catches the gold in his brown skin and the hopeful line of his mouth when he smiles back at her.

Helen Barlow

A 34-year-old woman with sun-streaked chestnut hair piled in a messy knot, flour dusting the apron tied over her soft cotton dress. She has the kind of warm, approachable beauty that seems to glow from within, with laugh lines at her eyes and a mouth made for smiling. She leans in the doorway of her three-story Victorian, the light from the hall haloing her figure, and the air around her smells like vanilla and baked apples.

The Favor

The scent of vanilla and baked apples wrapped around Anwar the moment Helen opened her door, cutting through the fog of his exhaustion. Her smile was a warm, tangible thing, and his tired shoulders straightened under its weight. When she leaned in, flour dusting her apron, her hand brushed his arm—a casual touch that sent a jolt straight to his stomach, leaving his skin humming where she’d been.
