Someday, June Something. * Who Cares * Void of Life
Hadley and Braxton are married. Karoline and Mason are married. As of yesterday, my sister is now engaged to the Crown Prince of Korsa… and I’m stuck staving off my playboy boss’ s attempted advances. It’s not that he isn’t extremely handsome and hot. It’s not even that I think he is a horrible human being. He runs a community center for disadvantaged kids for crying out loud. It’s the fact that I’ve seen him with so many women on his arm in the short year that I’ve known him. And he’s my boss. And he’s two years younger than me. That’s why I have to continually push him off. He’s just after the chase. He doesn’t actually care about me. That much is clear. I’m just another prize for him to win. Once I cave and he “gets” me, he will throw me away. I know his type, and I am at defense level 100 against it… Even if I choose to flirt back with him occasionally because he might be a wee bit fun to play with. But I’ll never admit that aloud.
ButGod…
Where is the man for me? I’m so lonely now, alone in this apartment. This is only the first night. Well, Lorelei left Frannie for me, but it’s not the same. Nothing is the same anymore. It feels like a dark, heavy weight is settling on my chest, suffocating me and beckoning me to the edge of a cliff. I don’t want to feel this way. Help me… Please, God. Help me. Not to need a man. Not to be so concerned that I’m lonely. Not to feel lonely.
I should reach out to Hadley. Or maybe even Emma Jane.
But why does it feel so hard to pick up the phone?
After
And fall in love she did…
The twin sister of the lovely woman with fair, freckled skin, warm, coppery hair, and a bubbly personality that would rival his own, that is. The flirty prince had finally found the one whom his soul longed for, and it turned out to be a lovely woman with fair, freckled skin, warm, coppery hair, and a stoic and serious personality that, though opposite, complemented his own. The bewitched crown prince whisked his new bride-to-be and her cat away to his palace where they would spend the remainder of the year not only preparing for a grand wedding but also transitioning into their new roles as king and queen of their tiny island country. As he learned what it takes to be a good monarch who ruled in fairness and kindness, she discovered what it takes to serve her country’s down and out citizens and families through her philanthropic work. The crown prince and his lady grew in their insurmountable love for each other with every passing day, supported and defended each other’s decisions, and slipped away to “practice” every moment they could, preferably in the garden by the newly planted chrysanthemums. Their wedding and coronationwas on the horizon, after all, and they had big plans to live happily ever after.
The End…For now.
