Violet smoothed out her pants and took a deep, solidifying breath. The
midday heat had her pants clinging to her in unflattering ways. Thanks to
the ignorant apartment manager, who waited until the hottest day of the
year to call an air-conditioning service technician. She pulled at her shirt,
trying to still the angry butterflies beating in her belly.

How many times had she stood on her friend’s front porch, her finger
inches away from the doorbell, contemplating why she did this to herself?
Several. More times than you even want to consider. Kate had a bad habit of
trying to set Violet up on blind dates—most of which ended with her going
home alone and humiliated. Nevertheless, Kate wouldn’t be deterred. It
seemed like every party she threw, someone had been picked out and would
be presented to Violet as a “suitable suitor.” Whether for the evening or
long term, the dates made her very uncomfortable.
With her finger poised to push the button, she went over all the reasons
why she should run. Go home. Hide under the covers and never come out—
at least until Monday morning, when she had a date with her books and a
cozy library on the other side of town. The books knew how to treat a
woman, and though they grew old, they never lost their charm or
disregarded her feelings. Yet, as much as she wanted to leave, the sick,
twisted part of her, the part that lusted after a man she knew mingled behind
the ornate oak door, kept her rooted in place.
Roman.
His sleek, black-on-black Harley-Davidson Panhead sat parked in the
driveway. What she’d give to feel the wind whip through her hair and the
sun on her face as the freedom of the open road transported her away from
her dreary, boring life. However, fiction and reality were two different
things. And in this reality, she deserved someone better.
“I’m so glad you could make it,” Kate squealed, opening the door.
Startled, Violet pasted on a grin and walked through the entrance of the
house, trying not to give away her wayward thoughts.
“I thought I told you to dress casual. What the hell is that getup?”
Compared to Violet’s khakis and silk shirt, Kate wore a summer dress
that clung to her voluptuous curves. Heat crept into Violet’s cheeks. “Well, I
gave your idea some thought, and I decided to play it safe,” she replied with
a nonchalant shrug. Truth be told, she didn’t own anything remotely
relaxed.
“Don’t worry. I have something in your size waiting in the guest
bedroom,” Kate said, guiding Violet up the stairs instead of outside.
“Of course you do,” she muttered under her breath.
“Hmm?”
“I said, I don’t know what I’d do without you,” Violet answered,
covering her blunder.
“You know I’d do anything for you, Vi, right? It’s what friends are for.”
They stopped a few feet from the guest room as Kate took her hand. “I
want you to be as happy as Jesse and I are.”
“I am,” Violet assured her. “Really. Don’t worry so much.”
“I think I’m always going to worry.” Her friend laughed. “Come on.
Your outfit is in here.”
