Meet Cute

by Tanika Johnson

Sometimes the love you find when you’re lost can lead you to destinations you never imagined. Kate was comfortable with the monogamous space she and Henry occupied in one another’s lives the past four years, until she discovered his idea to propose marriage. Now her mind was muddled with memories of things, places and people she had not revisited in nearly eight years. Back when Kate was content to wallow in her own grief, lost in the pool of unknown faces and personalities of a new school where no one knew about her mother’s death or her movie-mogul father’s fame until she banged lockers with Tom. Timing is everything- After a costly mistake in his teens sent Tom’s life down a road he never expected, he could finally feel it coming full circle when he was offered the job of his dreams by his mentor in New York City. He knew accepting it would mean relocating himself and his family from Los Angeles, winters that caused his battle ridden body to ache, and the distinct possibility he would run into the very person who, at one time, represented Kate. Now that circumstances have once again thrust Kate and Tom into one another’s lives will it be possible for Kate to say yes to Henry when he pops the question? Especially when Tom in his ever calming presence appears respectfully willing to walk away from her once again and focus on his career. Is Kate capable of accepting the life Tom has led since they parted, the sacrifices, the hardships and battle scars? Can she see the man she left has changed for the better?
