A year after her boyfriend’s death, Haylee Penfold was used to expressions of sympathy or pity. But Kye’s reaction was different
On the first date with my now-fiancé, Kye, I laid it all out on the table. I figured there was no use wasting his time. He had to know what he was in for. Kye could tell I was nervous, but he probably thought it was just jitters. He was handsome. Dark hair, kind eyes and the same smile I remembered from primary school, where we first met.
A lot had changed since we performed together in the school showcase. I scanned the room for the closest exit, mentally preparing a panic route for when it all went south.
