“I saw Scott Dillon,” Emily told Hope.
“You’re kidding. How? Where? What did he say? Did he notice your gorgeous new look?” Hope grabbed Emily’s shirt and pulled her toward the track. There were quite a few people running, even at six in the morning.
Emily started jogging. If you could call it that. “It wasn’t pretty, Hope. I’d fallen flat on my rear in the middle of the hallway outside my classroom. He helped me up.”
“Was it incredible? Did your eyes meet and—”
“I looked like death warmed over, and he didn’t blink an eye.”
They jogged in silence for a while. “I bet there was more. You probably just didn’t see it.”
Emily didn’t argue. She wiped the sweat from her eyes, pulled up her sagging sweats and moved aside as she heard a runner approaching from behind.
“Hey!” the runner said as he reached her side.
“Emily, I didn’t know you ran.”
Oh no.
Emily smiled at the man, with his windswept hair and perfectly muscled chest. Perfect.
Scott Dillon.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Jo Leigh currently lives just outside Las Vegas, Nevada, where she still can’t get used to the slot machines in the grocery stores. Storytelling has always been a part of her life, whether as a producer in Hollywood, a screenwriter or a novelist. It probably began when she told her third grade teacher that elephants ate her homework.
