REESE (Rivertown Fire & Rescue #4)

CHANTAL:
At my best friend's engagement party, I get stuck in a conversation with a guy who will not stop telling me terrible jokes.
I have no idea why I’m laughing. Or why I’m enjoying myself.
Blond, cute, and muscular, the guy is my personal dream man.
But based on my experience, I’m better off on my own.

REESE:
I meet her at a party.
Prettiest girl in the room, radiating serenity like a stone in the middle of a stream.
I do my best to try to engage her in conversation, just to be close to her.
But every time I start asking her about herself, she makes an excuse and walks away.
Where’s the line between “persistent” and “annoying”?
I’m worried I might have crossed it. Do I still have a chance with Chantal?
