Happy
Cinco de Mayo! Or, as we say in my
house, Happy Anniversary! Yes, it is my
14th wedding anniversary. So how
are we going to do to celebrate? By
taking my son to his baseball game, of course!
I know, how exciting. Actually,
we’ll celebrate next weekend after we hit my mom up to babysit. We’ll go out to dinner and have a nice quiet
evening together. And hopefully I’ll get
something nice and shiny! Quick–someone
share this with my husband. LOL.
Given
my ultra-glamorous anniversary plans, I started thinking about my characters
Blake and Jill in Long Overdue. What
would they be doing on their first anniversary after meeting each other through
1Night Stand? Would they spend a quiet
evening at home, or have dinner at an exclusive restaurant? Nope!
Blake
owns an airline so of course he’d put it to good use to celebrate the day he
met Jill. He’d want to show her the
world. Heck, he’d want to give her the world—before
they settle down and have baseball games to taxi their kids to. So I picture them someplace awesome—and warm
since we’re still waiting for spring to hit New York—like Hawaii.
Jill
would be excited and want to do all the touristy things tourists do. He’d have seen it before but enjoy watching
Jill take it in for the first time. And
who know, maybe Blake will even pop the big question… That would be just like him.
If
you haven’t read their story yet, here’s an excerpt on how it all started from Long
Overdue:
“I
think this is some sort of mistake,” she finally managed.
“But,
we’re here. And I don’t think it’s a mistake.”
Of
course, he’d be polite, while wondering what happened to the size zero, with extra-large
breasts, he ordered. “I don’t know.” She shook her head and swore
disappointment flashed across his face. “I’ll be honest; I am not comfortable.”
“And
let me be honest. I’m looking forward to an evening with you.” Ooooh, smooth. Then again, she didn’t
expect less, given his tabloid reputation. Still, her legs felt a little less
stable.
She
faced him. What really went on in his head? “You don’t find it strange that you
know me?”
His
killer smile set off butterflies in her belly and a warning bell in her mind.
“No. In fact, it makes sense.”
“Why
is that?”
“Because
I used to wonder about you. A lot.”
Jill
forgot to breathe. Forgot almost everything. Did he say…?
“Didn’t
you ever wonder about me?”
Jill
exhaled. “I’m taking the Fifth.” His smile grew. She shook her head,
recognizing dangerous territory. “I’m still not sure.” Not sure she’d measured
up. Not sure she’d survive with her heart intact.
“Stay
for a drink.”
She
wavered at his low-voiced offer. Dammit, he’d become even more handsome than
she remembered.
