The One with the Kiss Cam

by Cindy Steel

“She told you not to touch her, so don’t touch her, jackass.”

“It’s your fault. I only said it because your cheeks turn pink when I tease you. No man on this earth would be able to resist trying to make that happen over and over. Strings or no strings.”

You don’t have to do everything on your own. You can let people help you, you know.”

There are moments in our lives that can shape us. Define us. Make us who we are.

“Hope and fear like to think they can occupy the same space, but there is only room for one. It’s up to you to decide.

“The point is, reward takes risk. Life is messy. People are messy. Nothing is ever going to be perfect, but oftentimes, it can be even better than perfect.”

The audacity of Duke Webber. If my life were a romantic comedy, that would be the title.

“I’ve seen your heart, Kiss Cam. And I must be selfish because I want every bit of it.

“And I want you to try to see my mom’s good qualities too. Because she has them. Lots of them.” His eyes grew soft. “You came from her. I already love her best quality.”
