As a result of possibly this was destiny giving us a second likelihood.

A do-over.

Not that he remembers anyway, that’s clear.

I turned the water on within the bathe as I let my ideas wander to 2 years in the past, the day I met Nolan.

I’d simply gotten out of a relationship with my ex, Vance, who labored for a similar firm Nolan did, Breisinger Insurance coverage.

It had been a rocky relationship from the beginning, and I knew he wasn’t going to stay round—in spite of everything, he was planning to maneuver if he received his dream job at some accounting agency he’d been arduous on since school. Breisinger Insurance coverage was only a pit cease for him. One thing to pay the payments till he may squirrel his pennies and get the fuck out of Jasper Springs. I knew that, and it wasn’t like I used to be after something severe both. Or at the least, that was what I advised myself.

However someplace in my feeble, silly, romantic mind I believed possibly, simply possibly I’d be sufficient.

I needed to be sufficient.

However I wasn’t.

He broke it off with me and no sooner was he packed, blowing mud in my path. I wasn’t in love with the man or something, nevertheless it nonetheless stung. I’d change into used to having one other individual in my mattress, in my house, and all of the sudden… it was chilly.

Lonely.

Breisinger didn’t wait till the ink even dried on Vance’s two weeks discover earlier than they introduced in Nolan.

A dark-haired younger buck who seemed like some cross between Scorching Harry Potter from a B-produced porno and your little sister’s math tutor.

Vance left, and there wasn’t even a mourning interval. He’d been changed, and it made me really feel like I’d been changed too.

I needed to hate Nolan Harding. And I did, for some time. I hated his doe-eyed face, his nitpicking, his refusal to speak or gossip with anybody, particularly me.

His little snide feedback he thought I didn’t hear in passing once we’d see one another on the job.

However I used to be beginning to notice that maybe there was extra to Nolan than I’d thought, and possibly I didn’t really hate the man.

Perhaps I used to be really beginning to… like him.

I jumped within the bathe instantly upon that thought, needing the chilly water to clean away my ideas and emotions.

One factor at a time.

CHAPTER 10

Dawson

After an extended day of calls, I used to be virtually butter within the bathe. I wasn’t positive why I used to be so nervous.

It wasn’t like I’d by no means been on a date, and I actually knew methods to present a man a superb time. But, I discovered myself distracted now that I used to be carried out for the day and the hours had been dwindling nearer till I’d have to choose up Nolan and whisk him away to reap the reward of his winnings.

Hey…

I virtually couldn’t consider the textual content that had come by means of from Nolan—who I affectionately had listed in my telephone as Fucking Asshole—and I did a double take.

Nolan by no means texted me. If he wanted to succeed in me about something, he normally referred to as, albeit most of these calls the place at all times after I was in the course of one thing, so this was new.

Heyyyyy, I texted again if solely to be an asshole myself and be sarcastic. The place’s the fireplace? I requested cheekily.

There is no such thing as a hearth.

I rolled my eyes, clearly Fucking Asshole’s humorousness was hit and miss.
