Chapter 17

Leah paced the floor, her chest tightening in fear. Could it work between her and Cole? The way he held her and swayed them across the floor. Their fingers intertwined, fitting together perfectly.

“So… you two kissed or didn’t?” Gemma asked. She cradled Chip who reclined in her lap on Leah’s couch.

Leah placed her hands on her hips. “Almost kissed.” She could barely breathe when his hand touched her cheek. He was only a breath away from her lips, and to her surprise, she leaned in closer. Her heart skittered in her chest. Then… she heard April shriek. Her throat had clenched when she heard Jeremy profess his love for April. Leah needed a minute, so she had retreated to the ladies’ room.

Gemma lifted an eyebrow. “And that’s a bad thing?”

She twirled around to face her friend. Her eyes bugged. “It’s Cole, Gemma. Cole and I have been friends since high school.”

Her friend’s mouth curved into a smile. “I don’t see the problem. For you to almost kiss means he was on the other side of that. He must like you too.”

“Even if that were true, we got caught up in the moment. I don’t want to like him. I can’t.” Leah plopped on the couch next to her friend.

“Why? Cole is a great guy.”

Chip crawled over to rest in Leah’s lap. She scratched him behind his ears. She sighed. “I know. I didn’t think I would feel this so soon.”

Gemma nudged her shoulder. “Maybe it was there all along.”

“If only there wasn’t Seth to worry about.”

“Seth?”

Leah rambled. “And Tyler, but he understood.”

Gemma’s eyes widened. “Tyler? From the coffee shop?”

“And Craig.”

“What?”

“Both Tyler and Craig asked me out.”

Gemma smirked. “Look at you. Is there a man in town that hasn’t?”

“I’m serious, Gemma. I don’t understand what’s going on right now. I’m trying to focus on my work. I’m taking chances and trying new things. A man will only be a distraction.”

“Or, maybe you’re overthinking this and need to enjoy yourself. You don’t have to marry any of these guys. I think as long as you’re honest, you can hang out with them at least.”

Leah shook her head. “It doesn’t make sense. It’s not like I…”

“You what?”

Chip crawled back to Gemma. Leah jolted upright.

Gemma asked. “What? What’s wrong?”

“It can’t be. That doesn’t happen.”

“Want to fill me in on what’s going on here?”

“I made a wish, Gemma. The night Brian broke up with me, I made a wish in the town’s fountain.”

Her friend shrugged her shoulders. “Okay, but you know the legend behind that. Everybody makes a wish in that fountain.”

Leah rubbed her forehead. “What if… my wish is the reason I’m getting all this attention?”

Gemma cocked her head toward her friend. “Are you saying the mailman asked you out too?”

Leah’s mouth twitched into a grin. “Melvin is nice, but no.”

“Okay, so you can’t base the changes in your life off of a wish.”

She drew her bottom lip between her teeth. “You really don’t find this strange?”

“Actually… I think it’s somewhat romantic. I
