Welcome to bedtime stories for grown-ups, in which nothing much happens. You feel good, and

then you fall asleep.

I'm Catherine Nikolai. I write and read all the stories you hear on nothing much happens.

Audio engineering is by Bob Wittersheim.

My book, also called Nothing Much Happens, is available wherever books are sold.

Thank you for your support.

Let me explain a bit about how to use this podcast.

I'm about to tell you a bedtime story to help you drift off to sleep.

The story is a simple one and it exists to give your brain a calm content place to rest.

I'll read the story twice and I'll go a little slower the second time through.

Let your thoughts weave into the details of the story.

And before you know it, you'll be waking up tomorrow, feeling rested and refreshed.

If you happen to wake in the middle of the night, think back through any part of the story that

you can remember.

It'll put your brain right back on track for deep sleep.

Our story tonight is called A Little Romance.

And it's a story about the beginnings of spring in the city.

It's also about fond memories of young love, a picture tucked into the back of a wallet, and the sweet

realization that someone, somewhere, is thinking of you.

Now, switch off your light.

Set down anything you've been looking at

and get as comfortable as you can.
