Hang in there? Kendraโs words kept replaying in Julietteโs head as she left Cuppy Cakes and walked homeward. Here she was, in her twenties, feeling like an old, abandoned spinster. Was there a man out there for her? A guy she could give her heart to without it eventually being trampled on?
Emotions welled. Loneliness was eating her alive. How pathetic. Other women craved independence, careers, and the power to be perfectly complete inside and out without a man in their lives. She wasnโt one of them.
Juliette turned the corner on South Park Avenue. Where was she supposed to meet this one and only?
Wham!
A body collided with hers.
