Page 109 of Kiss Me, Sweetheart (Something Borrowed 2)

“Seriously?”

“Yes. When he contacted me and I looked at his profile, it all looked good.”

“So what happened?”

She grimaced. “He lied on his profile.”

“Shocker. What did he say? That he was six two instead of five two?”

“Well, he lied about his job, what he likes to do for fun, and he was a complete douche nozzle to the waiter at the restaurant. Frankly, I was glad that Veronica called me and pulled me out of the movie because the way he chewed popcorn was just…disgusting.”

Chris chuckled. “Ah, Kel, I love you.”

“I know.”

They shared a smile over the desk. Since the first time they went to a Star Wars marathon in high school, Chris and she had done the Han Solo and Princess Leia bit. It used to drive Ray crazy, but that had never stopped them.

Kelly leaned her head back in the chair and groaned. “Ugh, I don’t know what to do. I haven’t been dating since LFO was cool and it was only ever with one guy. I don’t know how to do this.”

“So don’t. No one says you have to date.”

She met his gaze sadly. “It’s time. I used to think that my future died with Ray, but the truth is, watching all my friends find love and get married, start families… It made me realize I still want those things. I’m thirty-two years old

; I need to move on.”

Chris didn’t say anything for several moments, and she sat forward. “Don’t you think?”

She couldn’t tell what he was really thinking, but when he nodded, she almost sighed aloud in relief. She couldn’t have Chris mad at her. He was the most important person in her life.

Chris reached across the desk, taking her hand in his.

“You deserve to be happy, Kel. I’ll support you in whatever you do. You know that.”
