I gathered the writers’ resources and emailed them to Brendan. Then, I waited. I mean I wasn’t waiting around not doing anything. Life went on, but I’d emailed him on a Saturday morning and he responded Monday evening. The moment I saw his email in my inbox, it was like the world stopped. It was a short email, and I can’t remember the number of times I read it. Somehow, I found myself in a loop of reading it over and over again like it was a love letter or something.

Thank you, Nia. I know as an author you must be pretty busy with your writing so I appreciate you sharing these resources. I really do hope we can meet again. I enjoy talking to you and feel like we would make great friends.

Make great friends. It definitely wasn’t a love letter.

I wasn’t sure what to think about the last line. I had the man’s phone number, I could just call him. While I was a modern woman, I felt really apprehensive about just calling Brendan out of the blue. Wouldn’t I seem desperate? I mean he indicated he was looking for friendship. Which in fact, was what I wanted to. I didn’t want to fall head over heels for someone only to be disappointed. I wanted to get to know the man.

I debated how to respond back to Brendan’s email for the rest of the week. I even considered emailing him my phone number. Let him be the one to call.

By the time the weekend rolled around, my enthusiasm about Brendan had turned to anxiety. I was feeling more like I had blown an opportunity.

One of my best friends, Angel Cade, had invited me to her son’s first birthday party. I sometimes babysat for the little tyke and was excited to see him reach this milestone. Back in the day, before Angel met the love of her life, Wes Cade, we used to hang out more often. Me, Angel and my other best friend, Toni Reed, were quite the threesome in high school. Now, both my BFFs had men. Toni was engaged with a wedding planned later this summer. I was happy for both of them that their Mr. Right had found them. I prayed one day I would experience the same reality. In the meantime, I guess I would settle with writing the perfect romance novel.

I’d come along quite nicely, finishing my first draft. I took a much needed break which meant I wasn’t visiting Southern Delights as often. I usually only visited the coffeehouse for inspiration. The down and dirty of rewriting I reserved for when I was rested and had a bit more quiet time on the weekend. I was determined to send the editor something she would love. Matters of the Heart would be published next spring, and that was something to be excited about.

When I arrived at the Cade’s house, barbecue smells wafted enticing my nose. While this was clearly a toddler’s birthday party, there were probably more adults at the house than children.
