Single and Ready to Jingle Excerpt
Her hand stills in mine. “Wait. Andrew? Wainwright? Did you by chance go to Columbia Law School?”
I drop her hand, and my forehead wrinkles.
The waitress returns and sets our drinks on the table. “Your meal shouldn’t be too long.”
I thank her before returning my attention to Kenzie, who is staring at me with wide eyes.
“I attended Columbia Law School, yes.”
I’m almost positive we can’t share any acquaintances or friends. I’m sure I’d remember hooking up with her. There’s no elf makeup blocking her face. After Moira, there were certainly some drunken nights, but none in which I partook in losing myself in another woman. Besides, this woman would have had to be in London at the time and she doesn’t exactly strike me as a worldly person. By the time I came to New York, I had my sights set on excelling in my career, so I know for certain I haven’t been with her in the decade plus since.
“You know my brother, Finn Montgomery.”
My stomach sinks. I don’t only know her brother. He’s my best mate.
“You’re Finn’s little sister?” My mouth is agape as I try to make sense of this. “I thought his sister’s name was—”
She grins. “He’s the only one who calls me Mac. Everyone else calls me Kenzie, but my given name is MacKenzie.”
Kenzie looks as if it’s a delightful situation we’ve found ourselves in.
I, however, realize two things.
First, ditching dinner is no longer an option and I’ll be forced to endure the shame of dining with a full-grown elf woman. Second, the fact she’s Finn’s sister gives me the perfect out without having to make an excuse for why we’re not a match.
Because if anything ever happened between Kenzie and me, Finn would murder me.
