“No they didn’t,” Nick said.
Well, that was true. Every time I passed one of my brother’s friends they pointed at me and made faces. But not Nick. He just frowned. I used to fool myself into believing that Nick cared. And now as he stood in front of me, I could almost believe it was true.
“There you are!” came a familiar cloying drawl. Brittany and her D-cups had arrived. “You are missing all the fun tucked away in this little corner, Nicholas. I have someone I must introduce you to.” She paused for a moment, looking at me through her overly long eyelashes. “Oh and you can come too, if you want, Anne.”
“Oh no thank you. Nick and I were just talking about the new septic tank in our trailer park.”
She blinked at me, not sure if I was joking or not.
Nick tilted his head and pressed his lips together. Then he gave me a quick, impersonal peck on the cheek. “It was great seeing you,” he said, before leading Brittany away.
“Bye Nick,” I said quietly.
Cynthia Tennent believes that when life gets tough, the tough should pick up a book. She is especially partial to stories in which a girl can be a hero and her trusty sidekick can be good-looking. In her Truhart Series, she writes about life in a small town, where love is plentiful and all dirt roads lead to happy endings.
Cynthia lives in Michigan with her patient husband, their three strong-willed daughters, and her collie dog, Jack. When she isn’t writing, Cynthia volunteers, pretends to exercise, laughs with her friends, and tries to understand technology.
