He's got spreadsheets and Bigfoot theories. I've got charm and a one-way ticket out of town.
My future is mapped out — big city, dream career, everything I've worked for. Ed Delancey? He's a delightful, nerdy detour I never saw coming. He's all logic and data, I'm all instinct and impulse, but somehow, we click in a way that makes perfect, ridiculous sense.
Ed doesn't just see me, he studies me. Watches how I turn awkward moments into connection, how I make friendships look effortless. When he asks for my help, he takes my advice like gospel, absorbing every lesson like I'm teaching him the secrets of the universe. And when I can't be that person, when a migraine steals my shine, he's the one with ice packs, my favorite foods, and steady hands that soothe me through the worst of it. Like I'm something precious.
But my dream job isn't in this town. And I refuse to be the girl who trades ambition for a man who never asked her to stay. If I take a job at his firm, will I be just another cautionary tale — the girl who gambled her future for a shot with the boss?
The smart move is leaving. But for the first time in my life, I'm not sure I want to be smart.
