I hadn’t seen Byron for a few days. It had been a few days of trying desperately to remove him from my thoughts. I buried myself in my work, grateful for a demanding client and a big project. In addition to that, I took extra shifts at the bear sanctuary, which was the only time I seemed truly able to get some respite from my thoughts about Byron.

“Still looking peaked, sweetness,” Cory called from the reception desk as I entered work at Barefoot PR on Friday morning.

I held up my vat of black coffee in salute, grimacing at his unflattering comment. Cory, because he was Cory and should probably have been working for the secret service and not at a reception desk at a public relations firm, knew all about my deliberation with ‘sexy disaster’ – a name Cory himself had coined. He disapproved of my reluctance to see him again. But then, Cory’s dating history was worse than mine.

I made my way through to the sanctuary of an empty meeting room. I wanted to spend a few moments alone to go through my inbox and get some peace before the day began.

As soon as I sat down, my phone rang. Jason’s name flashed on the screen and I cringed. I had completely forgotten all about him.

“Hey Jason, how are you?”

“Great! Yourself?” His voice sounded cheery, and I breathed a sigh of relief.

“I’m good. Work’s been pretty hectic, but nothing I can’t handle.”

“Well, if you’re not too busy, I was thinking we could grab dinner at OJ Sheeks on Saturday night?”

I hesitated. Part of me wanted to go, to try and pretend that Byron was just a blip on my dating horizon and continue as normal. But I knew it wasn’t fair to string Jason along when in reality, I was completely obsessed with Byron. Whether or not I decided to give my sexy disaster another shot, Jason wasn’t the one for me.

“Thanks for asking Jason, it’s really sweet of you but to tell you the truth, I just don’t see this working on a longer term basis, you know?” I fumbled around, wincing at the empty meeting room, “You’re a great guy, though. I had a great time. I hope we can still hang out as friends.”

“Sure…whatever,” his voice was cold, but that was understandable.

“I’m really sorry.”

“Well, you know what they say about plenty of fish in the sea!” His jovial tone was forced, but I smiled into the phone.

“Yeah, well, have a nice day and hopefully I’ll see you around,” I replied brightly.

“Yeah, you too.”

The line went dead. I heaved a sigh of relief and returned to my laptop screen. It had been the right thing to do.

I was just getting started on my emails again, when another interruption came bursting through the door.

“There you are! I’ve been looking for you everywhere,” Chloe’s tone was accusatory, as if I’d been deliberately trying to avoid her.

“What’s up?”

“I have a load of stuff to tell you that you’re not going to want to hear, but I need you to.
