Chapter 5

When it came time to leave, the spell broke. I’d had my magical moment, now reality was calling. Cinderella had to go back home and turn into a pumpkin. At least I’d have this memory to look back on; the best birthday I’d had since I was a little kid.

We stood outside the restaurant, caught in that awkward moment when neither person quite knows how to say goodbye. Should I thank him? He probably didn’t even know what he’d done—made a curvy girl feel normal, like someone actually wanted to spend time with her on her birthday.

Then there was the singing. I would never have had the courage to do that on my own... or to stand up to Dan either. Though Chase hadn’t even been there, just knowing there was someone in the room who thought I was worthwhile—who wanted to buy me a drink, not the other way round, and supported my dreams, not tore them down—well, I’d had a taste of what real relationships must feel like.

A stranger had been kinder to me than my own boyfriend ever was. Though Chase might be out of my league, it had made me realize that I was out of Dan’s. How could I thank him for that?

I wished I had the courage to say what was in my heart. I wondered if there was a way to express myself without sounding like an idiot. He was so much more sophisticated than I was. He must have heard it all, seen it all, done it all before.

“So...” I shifted my weight from one foot to the other, hands in my coat pockets.

Chase smiled. “I’m glad I happened to run into you at the bar tonight. You’ve given me a memorable evening.”

“You? Your evening has been memorable?” I laughed, throwing my head back. It might have been the champagne, but suddenly he was hilarious.

“What’s so funny?”

“Think about everything I’ve done tonight. I sang! In public! For the first time ever. And sure, it might not have been on a Broadway stage, but still—I didn’t die of fright. That’s huge!” I looked down, hands still in my pockets. “And... well, more than that too, I guess. You took a pretty lame birthday and made it really special. Thank you.”

He smiled. “You deserve it.” A cab pulled up in front of us, and his face fell. “I guess this is yours.”

I nodded, standing on my toes to kiss him on the cheek, then opening the door. “Thank you, again,” I said, moving to climb inside.

His hand suddenly grabbed the doorframe. “Wait!”

I looked up quickly. “Yes?”

“I have Judy Garland on LP, back at my house. Would you be interested in listening to it with me?”

A huge smile broke out on my face. “I’d love to.”

Chase’s brownstone was as beautiful as I’d imagined it would be. It faced Central Park, one of a long line of similar buildings. I’d always wondered at the sort of people who must live here. What sort
