Unemployed. Broke. Maid of Honor.
All (unfortunately) words that describe Em Hayes.
Without any job leads in San Francisco, Em caves to her mother’s promise of free rent and returns home. Her best friend, Nikki, couldn’t be more thrilled. Em’s degree in Event Management is gathering dust, and what better way to put it to use than planning Nikki’s wedding?
There’s just one flaw in that plan: Cole Connors. The girls’ former roommate. And part of the reason Em hasn’t been back since college graduation.
Em’s never been able to forget Cole—or how close they were before she pushed him aside and ran for the hills. Cole’s never forgotten Em either— but in the past two years, she hasn’t given him much choice but to try.
And, according to Nikki, there’s no better pair to plan the wedding of her dreams.
Em’s usually good at squashing messy feelings, but being around Cole again brings them all rushing to the surface.
And this time, she’s not sure she wants to run.
Genre: FICTION / Romance / GeneralI lace my fingers together and twiddle my thumbs. I'd been dreading this. "I don't know that I'm necessarily the best—"
She swivels in her seat so quickly that she'd give the girl from Poltergeist whiplash. "Emmeline Hayes. Don't you dare tell me that you're not going to be my maid of honor."
"For the sake of everyone in this car, please don't tell her that," Ron mutters.
"I am not saying that." I emphasize very carefully, lest Nikki attempt to burn me with laser vision. "It's just, I really need to be looking for a job while I'm here."
She still looks like she's trying to kill me with her brain.
"I just mean that I don't see myself having a ton of time to help with wedding plans. Job-hunting, you know?" And I do not want to be here until the wedding. They haven't even set a date yet. The idea of wedding planning stretches infinitely forward, with an indeterminate end. Florida is a temporary fix and a temporary fix only. I'm here until I can find another job. A job anywhere but here.
"Oh!" Her expression clears. "Don't worry. I have a plan for that."
A plan. Great. A brief history of Nikki's "plans" throughout college flip through my mind like the pages of a book.
And Cole's face is on every. Last. Page.
There's another reason I haven't come home in years. Being here means I'll have to see him again. And the way we'd left things… let's just say I'm not sure what sort of reception I'll receive.
Nikki will notice if I start banging my head against the window, right?
