Jo
Tall, bearded, and beautiful Adam Carter stood in my doorway smiling at
me, and he’d just used a name no one else in the world knew was mine.
Josie Wade.
Not a remarkable name by any stretch, but miraculous in that it was my
supersecret pen name for a part of my life literally no one but this brainmeltingly handsome man in front of me knew about. I, Josephine “Jo”
Malcom, was living a lie.
I mean, not really. I just wasn’t telling anyone about this part of my life,
and it was my choice. Adam’s discovery of the truth had been accidental,
and he’d promised to keep it a secret. Six months later, he’d kept his word.
In doing so, he’d tucked himself close to me, even though he didn’t
mean to. He’d stitched himself a pocket in my life no one else had access
to. He couldn’t possibly understand what it meant to me that he knew this
secret no one else on earth save my accountant did. It was the difference
between eating alone at the lunch table and having one friend to talk to—a
small change but with infinite impact on the isolation that had been the
reality before.
“Come in,” I said, smothering the crush of giddiness pinging around
inside me like someone had dropped a bowl of bouncy balls on tile. He’s
here! He’s heeeere!
The immature interior squeal would’ve embarrassed me if it had
emerged into reality, but fortunately, my excitement and completely
manageable no-big-deal crush didn’t betray me.
Could anyone blame me? He stepped through the doorway, and I failed
to shield my eyes from the perfectly fitted olive green polo shirt clinging
just enough to a defined chest and clean, worn-in jeans hinting at long,
strong legs and lean hips. He had on gray-and-black sneakers, and his beard
was trimmed close and matched his light brown hair he’d styled in a
careless and yet somehow orderly look, tidily trimmed on the sides and
longer up top.
I swallowed hard and forced my eyes away, refusing to indulge in
admiring the fit of that shirt around his muscular arms or the way his jeans
did great things for his b—body. No. Because one doesn’t check one’s
friend out, does one?
No, one definitively does not. Especially when one had banished the
crush on one’s friend when said friend very clearly announced he had no
interest in relationships or marriage and had done nothing in the almostyear since meeting to indicate a change of heart.
So.
None of this pining after a man who wasn’t an option. No Scarlett
begging Ashley Wilkes to notice her charms. No Laurie waiting for Jo to
settle down for him.
No more admiring. No more bouncy balls. No more nonsense.
Business.
Friendship.
Books!
See, there it was. I could focus on the book, and my frustrating physical
response to him could take a flying leap. Grabbing my computer, I let the
cool metallic shell of the laptop ground me into this reality—not the shared
secrets, fluttery heartbeat one I’d momentarily lapsed into.
