This Kiss

I am beyond done with love. With romance. With all of it. It’s not worth the bruises on my heart.

But watching my bestie fall for the guy next door makes me wish…

Not that I want my ex back. Hell no. I’m over him. And to prove it, I’m reinventing myself. New hair, new clothes, new car. New freaking me. A me who isn’t going to let some guy walk all over me and control my emotions. I’m in control now.

Except when Kannon’s around. He can get under my skin like no one ever has, and not just when he is slow to deliver my morning coffee. He never liked me. Always glaring at me, especially when I was with my ex.

“She didn’t need to change a thing to be gorgeous. She always was.”

Whoa. I didn’t expect to overhear that confession from Kannon. And about me? Maybe I misjudged him all along. Maybe those looks weren’t disgust. Maybe they were something completely different.
