Champagne Problems

by Joyce Chen

Overview

Is love strong enough to overcome centuries of hatred and unshared secrets?

Sometimes someone's last words echo in your mind like a broken record. Sometimes someone's dying
wish are the exact words that haunt you. Sometimes they haunt you enough to get you to go to the
town you were raised to loathe, just because you wanted the truth. Because all of a sudden, there was a
crack in the mirror, a missing page of the book, a silence that was screaming all too loudly.

Champagne's rivalry with Lockwood was one that went back so many generations to the point where
most people don't even know how it started. And depending on the generation, they'll tell you
different stories. Maybe it was a family feud. Maybe the founder of Lockwood stole the founder of
Champagne's wife. Maybe the founder of Champagne stole the founder of Lockwood's wife...or child...or
cow. Maybe the whole rivalry was based on a misunderstanding. But the fact of the matter was - the
people of Champagne and the people of Lockwood do not mix. They don't do business; they don't do
pleasure. Zilch. Zero. Nothing.

But here, at 11 o'clock on a Tuesday night, was a boy from Lockwood and a girl from Champagne
taking a walk together.

It should've been scandalous. It should've caused the whole town to wake and cause a scene. There
should've been screaming and yelling. There should've been a mere force of nature to intervene
and stop it.

But instead, nothing. And not the nothing their parents would've forced, but a relaxed nothing that
no one would've ever guessed between a Wooder and a Champ. It almost seemed...wrong.

About the Author

Joyce Chen wrote her debut novel while finishing her bachelor’s degree in biomedical engineering. She
feels the most in her element when she’s creating, whether that’s made-up stories or medical devices.
She loves daydreaming about fictitious scenarios, gawking at the pink-tinged clouds in sunsets, and
dancing to 2010’s hits with her friends. Joyce is the happiest when she’s home with her loved ones, curled
up in a cozy blanket and watching a good Hallmark movie.
