Avoidance Is The Best Strategy
Start Reading Nancy’s Story Here.
What had he done? Stupid. Stupid. Stupid.
Everyone was going swimmingly. He had been playing it cool, impressing Nancy. It had been working. She was starting to like him, maybe even more.
Then he went and jumped the gun. Told her that he loved her. Who declared love after only a month or so of dating? No one. Only desperate pathetic fools. And no girl, especially not a hottie like Nancy, liked pathetic fools.
Ted knew this. He knew it as clear as Nancy’s attitude the past half hour.
She was quiet. His talkative girl was never quiet.
Yep. Ted yanked at his collar. He knew what came next.
She was gathering up her nerve, knowing what she had to do. Cut his a$$ loose. When he walked her home, she’d tell him. Tell him that she didn’t want him hanging around anymore.
“…Ted?”
“What?” He snapped to attention.
“My tv’s on the fritz. I was wondering if you could have a look at it tonight.” Fawn blinked her big brown eyes at him.
Her tv? What did he know about tv’s?
But then, he looked over at Nancy’s bowed head, if he went with Fawn, he could avoid that talk with Nancy. Maybe she’d forget what he said, give him another chance.
“Sure,” he heard himself saying.
