Their fingers brushed as she handed it back, sending a tingle through her body.
Jen opened the book with a curious expression. “Will you go out on a date—a real one—with me?” she read out loud.
Tricia looked at her expectantly. “Will you?”
“I know what you’re planning.” Jen wagged her finger at her. “You figure if we count this,” she pointed at their table, “as our second date, it would be the magical number three, and you’d get to borrow my Karin Kallmaker novel.”
“Damn,” Tricia muttered. “You figured me out. But then you’d also get to borrow my Trish Hoffman collection. So, what do you say?”
“Tempting.” Jen rubbed her chin as if considering it. “I want to know how that frying-pan scene ended.”
Tricia abstained from pointing out that she could just open the book and find out.
“May I?” Now Jen pointed at Tricia’s copy of the book.
Furrowing her brow, Tricia handed it over and watched Jen scribble something down on the title page.
“My phone number.” Jen slid it across the table. “You’ll need it if you want to call me.”
Tricia beamed as if she had just received next week’s winning lottery numbers. “I do. I will.” Would tomorrow morning be too soon?
With an amazing beginning like theirs, she couldn’t wait to find out what other magical things would happen on their third date.

About Jae
Jae grew up amidst the vineyards of southern Germany. She spent her childhood with her nose buried in a book, earning her the nickname professor. The writing bug bit her at the age of eleven. Since 2006, she has been writing mostly in English.
She used to work as a psychologist but gave up her day job in 2013 to become a full-time writer and a part-time editor. As far as she’s concerned, it’s the best job in the world.
When she’s not writing, she likes to spend her time reading, indulging her ice cream and office supply addictions, and watching way too many crime shows.

In her childhood home, she meets small-town nurse Holly Drummond, who isn’t impressed by Leo’s fame at all. That isn’t the only thing that makes Holly different from other women. She’s also asexual. For her, dating is a minefield of expectations that she has decided to avoid.
