Adrian
I don’t know what I expected to find on the other side of the door when she knocked. In my mind, I thought I would see Noelle, my best friend’s baby sister and my son’s soon-to-be live-in nanny.
But the moment I see her, my brain stops functioning, and all my blood rushes to the wrong head.
Noelle is all grown up, curves, charm, and confidence wrapped neatly in one deliciously tempting package. The sight is so unexpected that I struggle to reconcile the old and new versions of her.
The thing is, I need to remember she is off-limits.
First off, my best friend will likely have my head on a plate if I even so much as stare at her the wrong way, which I’m totally doing right now. Second, she’s so good with my son that I don’t want to risk losing her, both for his sake and mine.
Third, and perhaps the most important reason of all, is that she makes me hopeful for a future that doesn’t look like it’s in the cards for me. I have long made peace with the fact that the rest of my days will be spent with Tomtom. By the time he’s older, I’ll spend it alone.
But…
Jesus, dreams of a happy ending fill my mind when she comes back into my life. I shouldn’t want things I couldn’t have. I shouldn’t even think of impossible futures.
And yet, I’d rather lose a limb than let her go.
She is … mine now.
