The Rules of Dating My Best Friend's Sister(118)

“If you had asked me to go up there, I would’ve suspected something. So it was perfect the way it was. I never saw it coming.”

“Some of the best things in life are those we don’t see coming, huh?” “I smiled down at Hope. “Yeah. I’m talking about you, little girl. The surprise of my life.”

Our daughter cooed and looked up at me.

“She has Ryan’s eyes,” I said.

“I know. Genetics is amazing, isn’t it?”

I frowned. “I really felt his absence when everyone was here today.”

“Me, too,” Lala murmured.

We turned our attention back to Jeopardy!. A few minutes in, one of the categories was Daytime TV.

The question was: ABC soap set in Washington Heights.

One of the contestants pressed the buzzer and answered, “What is Ryan’s Hope?”

Lala and I looked at each other.

He always made sure to let us know he was here.

Sexy Scrooge

The last thing I needed was to share an Uber with Scrooge—a cocky lawyer on a snowy Christmas Eve. It was bad enough I was on my way to court for the gift of eviction. Although maybe today wouldn’t turn out so bad after all. The Sexy Scrooge and I started to connect as we trudged our way through a storm. ?Our ride was about to end. But would I ever see him again?

The Merry Mistake

Note to self: Ask Santa for glasses this year. When I accidentally mistook a gorgeous man resting outside my building for a homeless person in need of lunch, we got into it. I’d only been trying to do a good deed around the holidays, but he called me righteous. I called him something far worse. If only I didn’t have to see him again. But fate had other plans.

Kissmas in New York

It was just supposed to be a simple kiss with a stranger. I’d done it to prove a point—that I hadn’t lost my sense of adventure. But you know what they say about the best laid plans. Maybe I’d get something in my stocking after all this holiday season.
