Page 41 of Falling for Mr. Wright

Chloe patted her knee. “Then that means something.”

Sarah shook her head. “It can’t. He’s my friend. He doesn’t do commitment, and I can’t ignore what he’s made perfectly clear. Besides…” She frowned. “If he was really interested in me, he would have called…or sent a text…or something.”

Chloe’s phone buzzed off the coffee table, and she reached for it. “It’s Peter,” she said.

“See.” Sarah threw her hands up in the air to prove her point. “I rest my case. Peter’s interested in you. He calls.”

“No, he’s apologizing for standing me up last night. I’m about to give him a piece of my mind.” Chloe got up and headed to her room to take the call. “Hang on, Peter.” She spun around. “Hey, roomie.”

“Yes.” Sarah picked up the two dresses, deciding on the red one.

“Make sure you fall for the right guy. It’s only fair to everyone involved.” Chloe resumed her call and disappeared into her room.

Sarah bit her lower lip, focusing on the television screen but only hearing her roommate’s advice.

A recent memory of her laughing with Ryan in the break room popped into her head. Would that be what it would be like dating Ryan? Lots of laughter during the day and…her thoughts easily drifted to his living room to finish that thought…and evenings full of steamy kisses that curled her toes?

Stop it. She stretched her legs and flexed her feet. She knew where Ryan stood when it came to relationships. “Why would a relationship with me be any different?” she said out loud and stood. She carried her dresses back to her room to get ready for her date with Logan, because falling for Ryan would only end in heartbreak.
