Untitled Novel - Chapters 2 & 3

... doesn’t mean she’s automatically attracted to every woman she encounters.”

“Shut up. That’s not what I meant,” Charlotte said with a sigh. “I just meant, why would you think that she couldn’t possibly be attracted to you? You’re cute! She could do a lot worse… she could also dosomuch better, but…” Charlotte trailed off as she broke out into a smile, her freshly dyed, baby pink curls bouncing up and down as she laughed on Nora’s phone screen.

Nora threw her head back with a groan. “But she could though! That’s the point. She’s literally the most beautiful person I’ve ever seen in my life,” Nora whined into her phone. “Plus she’s like, a bazillionaire. What the hell could she possibly want with someone like me?”

“Eleanora Bennet! Respectfully, you need to shut the fuck up! I know you hate hearing this, but you are beautiful, and funny, and you’re the smartest person I know.” Charlotte's tone shifted to become more serious. “You’re one of the only people we grew up with that’s actually gotten out of this bumfuck town. You always talked about it and then you actually did it. That’s huge, sugar!”

Charlotte could be such a stereotypical Southern Belle sometimes. She loved using terms of endearment like ‘babe,’ ‘sugar,’ or ‘pumpkin.’ Nora always acted like she hated it, but, secretly, she loved it.

I will not sit by and let you say those things about my best friend.”

Nora couldn’t help but smile as she waved her cousin off. “Whatever.”

“So, in the meantime, until your hot boss realizes she’s in love with you, why don’t you try out some dating apps? Get your mind off her. I’m sure you’ll have much better luck finding a nice girl in a big city like that than down south.”

Nora couldn’t help but roll her eyes again. If her cousin wasn’t coddling her, she was trying to set her up with someone. Nora thought that might have changed when she finally told Charlotte she was interested in women, but no. It barely even slowed her down. Every time Nora went home to visit, Charlotte would have a list of girls to set her up with.

But wasn’t Nora just thinking about how she needed to put herself out there again? How she wanted to find someone special?

That may be true, but it’s so much easier said than done. The idea of dating apps, meeting up with strangers who were ...
