Bad Date

Blind dates were the absolute worst.

Awkward, filled to the brim with small talk, and they never, ever worked out. Kay knew all that. Yet for some reason, she still had agreed to let Heather set her up.

Cough. Sense of humor. She meant the spectacular sense of humor.

But as the sun had risen and as she’d had to force her bleary self out of bed, she’d set the text chain aside and gotten on with her day.

Until she’d walked out of her apartment, turned toward the elevator, and saw . . .

Him.

Bad Marriage

Abby and Jordan were blissfully married.

Or supposed to be anyway.

But three kids, copious poopy diapers, and minimal sleep meant that she and Jordan were well past the honeymoon stage.

And she didn’t know how to get that bliss back.

Luckily, Jordan had a plan.
