Title: Moderation In All Things Save Love
Author: Pouncer
Fandom: Cupid
Rating: R
Genre: het, romance, stealth crossover
Pairing: Claire Allen/Alex DeMouy
Summary: Everybody dreams of winning the lottery. Claire said, "I always thought I'd travel." Alex reached out for Claire's hand, and her breath caught at the touch. "Me too. Want to go together?"
Almost 6000 words.

"Give me a dollar."

"Trevor!" He would interrupt Claire just as she was taking the first sip of her morning coffee, steaming into the cold air. "What are you --"

"Dollar!" His tone demanded.

Claire sighed and pulled out her wallet while resting her cardboard cup atop a Chicago Tribune dispenser. Her scarf twisted around her wrist.

Trevor grinned, sprightly, and snatched the bill from her hand. Then he passed over a slip of paper.

"The lottery? Trevor, this cup of coffee would be a better investment."

But he was leaving, waving, calling, "Be sure to check the numbers tonight," as he disappeared down the street.
