One Date

Over the years, Jack O'Riley has shown zero interest in me aside from our friendship. Even when I tried to tell him how I felt four years ago...

That's how I ended up dating his best friend, but now three years later, that's over and Jack's following me on a London sidewalk, asking me for just one date.

I mean, what's the worst that could happen?

The heat in his eyes and the way I've always felt 'seen' by him, has me agreeing, even when I know I should say no.

But then our one date leads to more and to protect myself I say something that's not true. After all, what can a woman like me offer a man who has everything?
