OMG Hannah!! You are never going to believe it!

Beck

Banks finally found an artist to fill the empty chair at the shop.

Beck

It’s been empty for months.

Beck

His name is LJ and he’s so freaking hot.

Beck

Light brown hair and brown eyes. The perfect amount of scruff. Built, but not bulky.

Beck

Tattoos to die for.

It would be weird to be a tattoo artist and not have any, I think to myself as I continue to read the endless messages.

Beck

You have to come by the shop after you’re done work and see for yourself. So hot!!

Beck

AND HE HAS A DOG!! It’s sooooo sweet.

Sitting down on a stool behind the front desk, I laugh to myself at Beck’s enthusiasm for new life in the local dating pool.

When you live in a town this size, available men are hard to come by. You or your friends have dated them, they’ve got a bad reputation, or worse, you are related to them. And Beck hasn’t exactly been putting herself out there since her breakup. It’s going to take someone incredibly special to win her heart for good.

After ending my relationship with Danny three years ago, I prefer to date seasonally as tourists are passing through town. I use the term date very loosely. Sometimes it’s dinner, and sometimes it’s a mutually beneficial hook up. I decided I'm not looking for a long-term relationship. I still see Danny occasionally, but we will never be anything more than casual.

Is this you telling me you're calling dibs?

Beck

Nope. I’m just looking. I can guarantee April will beat us both to it. lol

I laugh. April will be direct competition for everyone. She has piercing blue eyes with long magenta, purple and blue hair. Not everyone could pull off the look, but she is stunning.

I'm just about ready to respond to Beck's message when another text comes in.

Beck

When you come, can you bring me a chai latte and a scone from Aunt Maggie’s?

Beck

I forgot my lunch again.
