What Kind of Day

It was a lot to unpack.
Still, he was with her, and it was better than all the days without her.
He knew this.
They could kiss in here, couldn’t they? Not that it mattered to him because he just did, right there, and then she pushed him against the wall and kissed him back. Campus security could reprimand them later, if they wanted to at all.
“Why do you know all the best places?” he asked, between kisses.
“Listen to yourself,” she said. “This is just a classroom. You make it sound like it’s everything.”
“You’re everything. You know that, don’t you?”
Her breath, and the words she tried to form, tickled his lips. “We make good days.”
“Do I? For you?”
“Yes, you do.”
That was everything to him, as well.

The End
Author’s Note
My next contemporary romance series was supposed to have been set in the world of politics. I had outlined three books, started my research, named the characters. That was years ago, and frankly my head is in another place regarding elected officials. My heart too—so those books won’t be written anymore.
Then the idea for this book came and I was able to “save” three characters from that shelved series, and place them here. It’s a different world, so I changed them accordingly. While I do like to challenge myself when writing characters, and I’ve taken on the “unlikeable” in the past, I decided not to do so here. I won’t make this a space where truly terrible people are somehow redeemed. Ben, David, and Tana are good people; always have been, always will be. I didn’t use any of the real-world research here too, so if anything resembles real life, it’s unintentional.
That said, the tour of Manila can be recreated and made better even. If you’re ever in town, let’s eat somewhere.
Thank you to this book’s team: Layla, Veronica, Tania, Pach, Alex, Bibo, Graie, Janus, R, S, and I.
