ut that man. I drank Anna's drink and went to the bar to refill her glass and get one for myself. "Do you remember when I was seventeen and I had a crush on Mr. Westbrook, the substitute English teacher?" "How could I forget? He was twenty-three and gorgeous." "Hunter... Well, I don't know what to think of him, to be honest. He's dirty, direct, insistent... and very sexy." "And gorgeous, financially secure, secure, and VERY sexy," Anna added. I sighed. "Yeah.

One in particular caught my attention. After the second time Hunter caught me gawking at how handsome he looked in his suit and slicked-back hair, I managed to avoid eye contact for the rest of the ceremony and the first hour of the reception. It wasn't easy, considering how close we were standing since we were both groomsmen. But I managed it. Until I was slow dancing with Anna's dad. "Can I
