Submitted for Sunday Photo Fiction
The Assignment: The idea of Photo Fiction is write a story of around 100-200 words (which is also called Flash Fiction) based on a photo as a prompt. In this particular photo fiction, the story must be based on the photo below. My story continues from last week. Two people with different beliefs meet. Can they make it work. Let’s find out what is next for them.

Even though the shop was crowded, Roger managed to grab a table in the corner.
“I forgot to ask you your name? I am Roger.”
“Pleased to meet you. I am Julie.”
