Her proposition was easy. One night. No names. No connection. Just a night to forget the outside world.

I couldn’t say no to her. I didn’t want to.

In the morning, she was gone. Just like she promised. I knew I wouldn’t see her again.

Until she sat across from me the next night for our first date.

If anyone can screw up a relationship, it’s gonna be me. I moved to a new town for the guy I’d been dating for almost a year, only to find out he was married with two teenagers. Then I had a one-night stand with the hot guy from the hardware store, and got paired with him on a dating app for a date the next night.

After I told him I wasn’t looking for anything serious.

I wasn’t, not really, but if I was going to stick around for a while, I might as well get to know the locals. Especially the ones who made me feel like there might be a place for me in this small town.
