The Bourbon Chronicles 1.3
Meet Cute — Chapter 3
Wait! Have you read the story from the start? You can start with how Jack and Laurel met here.
My weekend was packed with family events which only did a little to keep Laurel off my mind. Between her and work, I was mentally checked out. I snapped out of it when my cousin Emily waved her hand in my face. “Hello?”
“Oh. Hi Emily. Sorry. I was somewhere else,” I apologized.
“You okay?”
“Oh yeah, just a lot on my mind with work… and this girl I met,” I told her. I hadn’t seen Emily in a few years, but we were always fairly close.
“Oooh, let’s hear about this girl,” she pestered me.
“There’s nothing to tell really. I just met her.” Well, I hadn’t even actually met her.
“But you’re thinking about her,” Emily said in a sing-song way.
“Yeah, she seems pretty great,” I told her.
“Well, maybe I’ll get to meet her one day,” Emily said with her usual optimism.
