description: Poppy Amore loved her job waitressing at Good Ol' Days Family Restaurant. No one could ask for a better working environment. After all her best friend Whitney worked there and her boss restaurant owner Mr. Dexter was a kind understanding grandfatherly sort of man. Furthermore the job allowed Poppy to linger in the company of Mr. Dexter's grandson Swaggart Moretti-the handsome and charismatic head cook at Good Ol' Days.Secretly Swaggart was far more to Poppy than just a man who was easy to look at. In truth she had harbored a secret crush on him for years-since her freshman year in high school in fact. And although the memory of her feelings-even the lingering truth of them-haunted Poppy the way a veiled unrequited love always haunts a heart she had learned to simply find joy in possessing a hidden anonymous delight in merely being associated with Swaggart. Still Poppy had begun to wonder if her heart would ever let go of Swaggart Moretti-if any other man in the world could ever turn her head.When the dazzling uber-fashionable Mark Lawson appeared one night at Good Ol' Days however Poppy began to believe that perhaps her attention and her heart would be distracted from Swaggart at last. Mark Lawson was every girl's fantasy-tall uniquely handsome financially well-off and as charming as any prince ever to appear in fairy tales. He was kind considerate and Poppy would find a true old-fashioned champion. Thus Poppy Amore willingly allowed her heart and mind to follow Mark Lawson-to attempt to abandon the past and an unrequited love and begin to move on.But all the world knows that real love is not so easily put off and Poppy began to wonder if even a man so wonderful as Mark Lawson could truly drive Swaggart Moretti from her heart. Would Poppy Amore miss her one chance at happiness all for the sake of an unfulfilled adolescent's dream?
