Slade stared at the background of a waterfall on his computer screen. Mae was gone, and he felt lost without her. Last night was a missed opportunity with Mae, and it still stung that she’d left and then never responded to his text, but Mae was obviously socially backward and more than likely not his type. Yet he liked her, a lot. He also was attracted to and intrigued by Josie, and he wished he hadn’t said Mae’s name after they’d kissed, then put her in that taxi without getting her phone number or at the very least her last name.

He shook his head and focused on his computer, pulling up his email. Work was good. Work could distract him from the confusion of two women on his brain. It was crazy how drawn he was to Mae when he had never met her in person and couldn’t really tell what she looked like behind those too-large glasses, but he was also incredibly drawn to Josie, whom he hardly knew. He kept telling himself the draw to Josie was all physical and shallow, but some part of him didn’t believe it. Josie had been so much more than a pretty package.

Trying to shut it from his mind, he got to work.

A week passed, and the memory of Josie somewhat faded, but he never lost the feeling of connection, desire, and—did he dare even think it?—love that he’d experienced when he’d touched and kissed her. If he believed Lottie’s chick flicks, he’d think he lost his chance with his soul mate.

He was getting comfortable with Mae again, laughing at her jokes, and looking forward to any chance he had to video chat her. She’d also started texting him, sending him pictures of funny memes or T-shirts, or simply chatting about their day. He was afraid to suggest he fly out to meet her again. What if it all spiraled downward? What if he ran into Josie and got even more confused? He felt like he was falling for Mae and like he’d already fallen for Josie. Josie was out of his reach and he needed to forget her. Did he dare suggest Mae fly here? He could call it a work trip for her to meet people in his Boston offices that she associated with through video chat, email, and text.

Yet he still couldn’t forget Josie. He realized late Saturday night, when he was home alone, that he wanted to find her, give her a chance. She’d been delightful to talk with, even before he touched her; maybe they could have as much fun chatting as he and Mae did. He wasn’t sure what was pushing him to find Josie. It may have been due to the fact that he hadn’t talked to Mae since yesterday during work hours, or it may have been that Lottie had forced him to watch Sleepless in Seattle and then grilled him, “Did it feel like that, like magic, when you touched Josie’s hand?”

He’d had to admit that it had felt even more powerful than Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks had portrayed.
