Overview

A one-night-stand to forget my failed marriage? Doesn’t sound like me, but I guess there’s a first time for everything.

It’s been six months, three days and seven hours since my husband walked out on me. Long enough to move on, according to my friend Aaron, who dragged me out to a gay bar in an unsuccessful attempt to get me laid.

Too long, according to my surprise guest, to keep living like I had been in the hollowed-out shell of my apartment.

When I offered someone I knew—barely—a place out of the rain to wait for his mechanic, I didn’t think he’d expect to stay the whole night. Or get naked so quickly and casually in front of me.

To shower, but still. Dax has the looks of a porn-star and the personality of a golden retriever. The combination is hard to resist.

Suddenly, I’m thinking about things I haven’t thought about in months. I’m feeling things I haven’t felt in years, if I’ve ever felt them before. I want something again, but I don’t know if I should have it. Or if I even can.

I guess I’ll just try to ignore it, and ride out the situation I’ve gotten myself into. It can’t be that hard to deal with.

It’s only one night.
