Excerpt:
I pulled my sporty hybrid into a spot
right in front of the aptly named Fresh Start Café. The
irony did not escape me. A loud overhead door chime
announced my entrance. Though still not quite perky, I
gave a weak smile to the few people who instinctively
turned. I ordered a large cup to go and walked past the
glass case of pastries toward the counter along the far
wall offering the requisite sugars, creamers, stirrers, and
lids. I only needed a lid, but that proved to be more
challenging than I could’ve imagined. I struggled to
secure it while avoiding a spill, but I couldn’t produce a
seal.
“They are a bit tricky, but the upside is once they’re
on, they’re on for good.”
Upon hearing a sexy, yet friendly, male voice, I
looked up and blushed upon discovering the face
matched the voice. He had medium length, messy,
brown hair and soft blue eyes framed by amazing
eyelashes. I caught myself staring and quickly looked
away and resumed my mission with a renewed effort.
“Yes, snug I guess. You’re right.” Thankfully the
lid made a satisfying pop at that moment indicating my
victory in the lid battle. I quickly straightened, my hands
shaking in time with my racing heart. I wasn’t expecting
to meet a cute guy first thing in the morning. The
combination of surprise and attraction woke me better
than any cup of French Roast could.
