Claiming Her Man
Growing up as best friends since they were in the 4th grade in Fairview, NY, Chloe Charles and Elle Landon were inseparable. But the friends were not equals in their roles in the friendship. Chloe, a petite blonde with big blue eyes, was a powerhouse whose personality and strong will ruled. Tall and slender with long brown hair filled with natural caramel highlights and deep chocolate brown eye and an only child, Ell was sweet, quiet and giving. So, no one was surprised that strong-willed and self-focused Chloe dominated the relationship. And when the two bffs considered colleges, no one was surprised that the two friends matriculated to Boston College and the friendship continued for the next 4 years.
Two years into the college experience, at a party, Elle met a man who took her breath away, and from his reaction, the dark-haired, blue-gray haired junior BU student, Grayson, was also taken by the pretty, slender Elle. Both were electrified by each other. But before the two could get beyond the exchange of names, Chloe swept in between the two, quickly beginning a conversation with Grayson Carter, a fellow student in one of her classes, but intentionally or unintentionally, blind to the electricity between her Elle and Gray. And from that point and for the next 2 years of their college experience, Chloe claimed dibs on Gray. But right before graduation, the relationship suddenly blew up when, without explanation, Chloe having begun an affair with another student, on the day of their graduation broke up with Gray.
But fate hasn’t given up on the abbreviated connection of Elle and Gray. Elle, now residing in NYC has applied and been offered a job with C.T. International, a large, successful international commercial real estate firm. And her greatest shock is that the C in the name of her new firm is none other than Gray Carter, the college student whom her best friend had claimed before Elle and Gray had even had a chance to explore the connection between them. Sometimes lighting of love does strike twice.
