Chapter One

"Alright, tell me about this guy. You, after all, knew him for many years!" Nicole asked, clearly wanting Emma to describe the man in detail.

"I already told you," Emma said. "He was an old friend from my childhood. We grew up in the same town, went to the same schools all the way through high school, and then we went our separate ways once we went to college."

"Is he single?"

"Don't worry, I plan on it!"
