Her Perfect Game
“She needed to think and he understood, but it also left him with nowhere to go because he still didn’t have the balls to tell her he was Win. He planned to tell her after she’d accepted the job offer.
It never occurred to him that she might not say yes.
He stayed at his table, finished his beer, and ordered another. The gift he had specially made for Charlie weighed in his pocket. He’d imagined her jumping up and down with excitement over the job and then he’d tell her like it was a funny littl...e story.
Suddenly he didn’t think she’d see it that way. He’d underestimated her again. And if his stupidity cost him her personally and professionally, he didn’t know how he’d forgive himself.
Maybe Win should just blow her off. He could disappear as easily as he came into Charlie’s life.
But he couldn’t do that to her. As Jonah, he’d abandoned her three years ago. He reinvented himself as Win Abo to keep an eye on her virtually. She’d confided in Win, shared parts of herself, and he couldn’t pretend that didn’t carry a lot of weight.MoreLess
