It was either crash out in front of my ex, or pretend I'm dating my old high school friend Nick. But when Nick kisses me? It doesn't feel like he's pretending.
June
At eighteen, I left my hometown in pursuit of big Broadway dreams. But with thirty looming, it's either kiss my dignity goodbye and start booking children's birthday parties, or head back home to teach at a summer Conservatory program.
Can't get any worse, can it?
Apparently it can.
Because my jerk of an ex is on the faculty too. And when he introduces me to his new fiancee, it turns out I do have a smidge of dignity left. So I grab Nick, high school friend and fellow faculty member, and declare that we've been dating for months.
To my surprise, Nick goes along with it.
What's more surprising is that he's not the quiet nerd I remember from high school. Okay, he's still nerdy, but as an incredible pianist, he's also very, very good with his hands.
When I accidentally overhear the song he's been writing, he confesses the real reason he was so quiet back in school.
But after my agent calls with an audition for a touring show at the end of the summer, it doesn't matter that I'm falling for Nick. Because despite being an actress, I'll never play the role of the big city girl who moves back home for a boy.
Right?
