A Story: A mistake that lead to happiness

A man in his late twenties, who is very inspirational.
A woman in her late thirties, who can be quite naive.
The story begins in a forest.
There's a case of a mistake that lead to happiness
It's a story about prejudice and difference between two personalities.
 

Once upon a time there was a man and there was a woman. It seems like it is obvious what this story will be about. Yes, about love relationships. But every love story has its plot, its specific details, and it sometimes even contains curious things. For example, age and character difference between two people. As A.Pushkin says: "Love knows no age or bounds." So, how can love have any limits? My love story will actually be about this. 
Once there was a picnic in Needwood forest. Almost all the town went there to spend their weekends there! Suprisingly, Eliza Grey came there too. Eliza is a woman in her late thirties who is quite naive, a little bit pessimistic, but usually rather cheered up and calm. She is single and has no friends. Happily, this summer her sister Angie came to visit her and spend all the holidays with her. She works as a saleswoman, so her salary is quite low. But she actually loves her job, because she feels herself proud because of the fact that she helps people. She believes that by selling products and other things to people she saves their lives from discomfort and hunger. But today she is free to relax after a few working hours in a shop. But normally Eliza does not even think about going out with her neighbours and having fun lying on grassland and nibbling the sandwich she has prepared fifteen minutes before leaving home, and talking about "How your Michael/Katie/Roger/whoever grow up so fast!" or something like: "Oh dear, poor lamb, how can you get along with such a man?!". No, these talks are not for her. She is alone, childless, she even doesn't have a dog. So are there any topics left? Actually, no. But Eliza's sister eventually grabbed her sis and brought her here, to the picnic "...to breath in some fresh air...", as she calls that. So, now Eliza is sitting on a mat under a tall massive tree with thick leaves' blind that makes her invisible to others. Angie already tried to get her out of there, but as you can see, she didn't succeed. She stayed there reading Agatha Christie novel catching strikes of light slightly cutting through the green dome with book pages.Then she suddenly heard some strange noise. That moment she was reading the most terrifying scene in her novel. Alhough that noise scared her, she left her book under the tree and walked from under the tree. And then she saw a man, or it would be better to say a boy, who was shouting a scottish song.Eliza sighed and said to that man-boy:
- Are you crazy? You cared me to death! Stop shouting, you may frighten people! 
- Hahaha, you really think that this way I can scare them? By singing? Maybe I am not musical enough, so that's the reason...I may scare them. Probably.
- Why are you being so unserious? Ok, I don't want to talk to you. Just don't do this, ok?
- Hahaha, unserious. If I was as gloomy as you are I would've already topped myself hahaha.
- What? You, you....You are terrific!
And she did not understand why, she started crying. The man-boy was appoled with this situation. He did not even expect that his words could cause such a reaction:
- Oh, calm down, calm down! I didn't mean to hurt you! I don't know why I've just said these words..Sorry, ok?
She started crying even more. The man-boy had no idea what to do next. As he wanted to soothe Eliza, he left her there, and then returned in five minutes holding a bunch of grassland flowers. 
- These ones are for you! 
Eliza look at the flowers with amazed expression on her face. She had never received any presents or sighns of attention from a man:
- Oh, is it for me?!
- Sure, can you see anyone else right now? Hahaha
- Thanks a lot! 
- Let's go, I'll make you a little bit happier than you are now! 
- So, what are you gonna do? 
- To be honest, I don't know. Lets go to the river bank, hear some seagulls screaming songs.
- Hahaha, stop talking about this! 
- You see, eventually you've laughed! Keep doing it more often!
- Fine!

Letters to sister.
One month later.
Eliza:
- I've found a friend. A real friend, who supports me, saves from sadness...
A year later.
Eliza: 
- While he is younger than I am, he is quite curious and even smart! I love him... I didn't expect it at all...
Three years later. 
Eliza:
- You can congradulate us! Now we are a married couple! I am the happiest woman in the world! Quickier, come here, we are going to have a party! We are looking forward to seeing you in my town!

I like stories with happy end. I wanted to show you that our life is full of various unexpectable situations like this one. Although sometimes they seem unreal, but such strange stories can become the happiest ones!
