Okay... Here goes nothing. 
Stephen wandered aimlessly through the town, eyes roving over the colorful displays. The festival always attracted all sorts of interesting people, and this year's was no exception. There were still the common people showing off: Joseph the grocer with his prize-winning vegetable, Marian the seamstress with another beautiful outfit, and Maximillian the acrobat, back with another spectacular show. Girls were running about in their best dresses, no doubt hoping they would meet the boy of their dreams. It was a silly idea to him, but it was still the town's tradition.
A small display of flowers caught is eye. Various flowers were tastefully arranged in vases, but the festivalgoers all passed it without so much as a glance. The girl sitting there was pretty but didn't look too hopeful. Well, a little good in the world never hurt anyone. He turned and walked toward the stall.
Lily sat patiently, although her hopes were sinking as the day was going on. Her richer friends had just left for the acrobatics show, and she wished she could go and watch. But she had to tend the stall, so she might as well try and make the most of it. All of the familiar faces had stopped by already, but this was the fair where a boy or girl could hope to meet their match. Of course, it would be funny if it was called the matchmaking and kissing fair, so everyone called it the Festival.
A young man turned in her direction and was coming closer. She hoped he didn't want a kiss, because she wasn't going to give one to anyone, no matter how hard they pleaded. But that didn't seem to be his intention, as his hand reached for the blooming rose.
"How much is it?"
"Hmm? Oh, only two bronze." He dropped two golden coins into her hand.
"I'm sorry, I don't have any change."
"That's all right. Keep them."
Surprised by his kindness, she nodded. "Thank you."
"Least I can do for someone pretty as you." She blushed faintly, unable to meet his eyes. "I'm Stephen. You?"
"Lily."
"Well Miss Lily, I hope to see you again soon."
"You too. Enjoy the fair!"
It's not over yet! I just need an excuse for her to run into him again.
