Her date with Jared started with a pleasant surprise: he actually looked like his profile picture.

Several female patrons of the coffee shop turned their heads to watch as he strode past. He stopped in front of the corner table she had picked and smiled at her with his toothpaste-commercial teeth. “Hi, I’m Jared. You must be Eliza.”

“I am. Nice to meet you.”

His gaze didn’t flicker to her breasts as she stood, and he didn’t try for a kiss on the cheek but greeted her with a short, not too tight hug. His cologne reminded her of Denny’s.

Oh, no, no, no. This date was meant to confirm her attraction to guys, not make her think about Denny.

Jared got them hot beverages—asking for her preference instead of deciding for her—and then they settled at the table to get to know each other.

Eliza had picked a coffee shop instead of a restaurant so she could make a quick escape should things not go well. But as she finished her third mug of hibiscus tea, she realized the sun was sinking toward the horizon outside.

They had chatted about metalwork and movies and had bonded over their less than stellar experiences as baristas, with no awkward pauses or one of them monopolizing the conversation.

This time, she wouldn’t be returning home with a funny story about her horrible date to tell Denny.

Gosh, there you go again, thinking about her. Here she was, sitting across the table from a funny, smart, and good-looking guy, and yet her thoughts kept returning to Denny.

When they finally left the coffee shop, Jared lightly rested his hand on the small of her back as he escorted her to the door. His touch felt nice, not patronizing. But the tingle she had expected was absent. No zero-gravity sensations set in and made her feel as if she were back on the Viking ship.

Oh God. He checked every item on her list of traits she wanted in a man, and yet…nothing. He didn’t set off any of the reactions Denny’s closeness caused. What did that mean?

He walked her to the corner, where they’d have to part ways since he had parked his car in a different direction from her apartment.

“Nice shoes.” He pointed at her yellow sneakers as they walked.

“Thanks,” she said. “I consider them my lucky first-date charm, but they haven’t worked very well so far.”

They reached the corner and turned to face each other.

“I hope they did today,” he said. “I, for one, had a great time. Especially when you told that story about the woman who brought her pet iguana to the coffee shop.” His stunningly blue eyes twinkled as he laughed.

“And I wasn’t even exaggerating,” Eliza said.

“That’s what made it so funny.” He searched her eyes. “So, do you want to go out again sometime? We could catch that movie you mentioned next weekend.”

His charming grin should have made the answer a no-brainer.

But for Eliza, her answer was about more than this one date. It was a decision that felt monumental, as if it would influence the rest of her life.
