"How
about I help you. Dating 101, Nick Bryson style." "You're
kidding!" Nick laid his hand over his heart, displaying mock hurt.
"You don't think I can do it?" Stunned didn't begin to describe
her reaction to his offer. "I'm sure you can, it's just that we're
strangers really." "So are most people
when they first start
dating."
Jenny's eyes
narrowed. "Why are you offering to help me do this?" she asked,
not convinced this was a smart thing to do. "Why not? You
seem like a nice person, even if Kate is your friend. And Mike
speaks highly of you." He graced her with a seductive smile that
nudged her curiosity. "You can get a reference about me from Mike, if
that'll make you feel safer."
At her
dubious expression, he said "Look, I'm not seeing anyone seriously and
I've got the time." Translated: I've got nothing better to do, why
not spend it with you? Not exactly the response she'd been looking
for. On the other hand, what could it hurt? Who better to
teach her the fine art of dating than a hot-blooded, and oh-so-handsome,
American male? Okay, Mr. Generous. Give it your best shot.
Then
again, she didn't want Nick to think she was desperate. Thinking
up a reasonable explanation for the lessons, she said, "Well, there is
this guy in the office next to mine I wouldn't mind trying my technique
on. He's kind of cute." She paused, drawing out the tension
when she glimpsed the expectant smile on his face. "Sure, Nick,"
she answered sweetly. "I accept your offer. "Great. I'll
pick you up Saturday, around noon. We'll have lunch." "I'll
be ready."
"Written in a fun style that is earning Tara Randel
well-deserved acclaim, The Love Assignment is an
inspiring story of having enough faith to wait for loved
ones to find their way and how the power of love can
heal the past and bring hope to the future."
