Until she’s not.
If I’ve learned anything in my twenty-two years of life, it’s that kind of thinking won’t get me far. In fact, it will only hold me back. One of these days, I’ll learn to control what comes out of my mouth. But it won’t be today.
Today, I’ve got a date with my sexy lab partner who’s way out of my league, yet here with me anyway.
Inviting her to the hockey Halloween party may have been my most intelligent decision to date. Even with the pumpkin costume, I stole not only her heart, but every date, kiss, and orgasm she’s willing to give me. Seems only fair when she’s the only one who’s earned my secrets and the person layered under the identity I portray to the world.

There’s a beautiful woman on my front lawn, and I don’t know why.
Granted, I haven’t had my morning coffee yet.
And my reading glasses are still on my nightstand.
And the headache that I’ve been fighting since last night is still winning.
But I distinctly remember talking to my brother a few days ago about the woman who’d be moving into the other half of the duplex where I live with my five-year-old daughter, Reese.
