Deserted Island, Dreamy Ex

Then there was that bridal shower she’d been so hyped about, throwing a huge shindig at her apartment for her room-mate, her incessant chatter of gowns and registries and invitations sending a shudder through him.

Marriage was never on the cards for him and just being close to all that hearts and flowers crap made his gut roil.

Then he’d walked in on her one day, standing in front of a cheval mirror, wearing a shiny white wedding gown and a beatific smile. If that vision hadn’t sent a ripple of horror through him, her words had.

‘It’ll be our turn next.’

Not a hope in Hades.

So he’d pulled back, brought forward his departure date to a Florida training camp, said goodbye with a phone call. He’d taken the coward’s way out but, the way he saw it, he’d made the right decision.

He’d never promised Kristi anything, had made it clear from the start their dating had a time limit. Wasn’t his fault she’d interpreted it as anything other than what it was: a casual fling, fun while it lasted.

‘If you two parted amicably, does that mean you’re going to pick up where you left off on the island?’

‘For your nosy viewers to see? Not likely.’

As the words tumbled easily he had to admit he’d wondered the same thing himself, the thought crossing his mind the instant she’d strutted in here with her shoulders squared for battle and her eyes flashing fire.

‘Too bad. Would’ve been nice to add a little romance to the mix.’

With a shake of his head, Jared stood. ‘You’re a sap.’

‘No, I’m a producer after ratings.’

Throwing a few notes on the table, Elliott hoisted his load into his arms and stood too.

‘And sex sells, my friend.’

Jared grunted in response, a certain part of him agreeing with Elliott, with the faintest hope Kristi would too.
