The Early Bird: A Business Man's Love Story

A keen‑eyed young executive steps off a train at the sleepy station of Restview, his mind already cataloguing the rolling countryside and the modest inn that awaits. He’s dressed with a crispness that seems lifted from an advertisement, and his purposeful stride suggests a man used to making decisions on instinct. The journey promises a brief respite from his bustling career, a chance to pause in a place where the world feels slower.

There, an imposing bearded stranger and a sprightly girl in a green dress interrupt his plans, their banter thick with playful misdirection. A case of mistaken identity sends the businessman into an unexpected partnership with the gruff driver and the eccentric elder, while the girl’s mischievous smile hints at a deeper connection. As the group sets off toward Meadow Brook, the stage is set for a light‑hearted romance that will test the young man’s confidence both in business and in matters of the heart.
