Hello Temptation (Hello, #3)

by Kelsie Hoss

“Some people just don’t get happily ever after, at least not in the traditional sense.”

I was twenty-eight, after all. Shouldn’t I have kissed a few frogs by now if I were on the way to a prince?

Confession: I’ve gone so long without a relationship that sometimes I have a hard time believing anyone would want to date me.

“A partner, a true partner, can change everything. They’ll bring out the best in you, force you to acknowledge your weak spots, help you grow faster than you ever could on your own. I’d hate for you to miss out on that because you don’t think you deserve it.”

Confession: I’m still trying to remind myself that I’m not too big for certain things—they are just too small for me.

Confession: I can’t do this anymore.

Confession: I can do hard things... as long as there’s an end in sight.

‘It’s not that I’m afraid to meet people. It’s that I don’t know if I have enough room.’” I smiled slightly, the memory fuzzy. “You were so worried that if you met too many people you wouldn’t be able to give them all of yourself. You wanted to remember their names, their favorite colors, have enough time to play with them all on the playground... It made you so anxious that you choked up every time you met someone new.
