My head spins as I read this description in shock Is it true that this man lives here, in puny Gainesville, a town that has at a ets up and puts on a suit, and then drives to the sa that Harold shows up to?

It can’t be Patrick Lancaster is too suave, sophisticated, and too everything for our soing to meet him tomorrow!

Penny

Yesterday, I’d been over the ible bachelor After all, we don’t have uys at eeks, and the yearbook staff But no one really appeals to le h uys asked me out

“Come on,” wheedled Brock Tanner just last week “You’ll like the burgers over at Shake and Fry”

I shook my head wryly

“No thanks, Brock I really appreciate it but I have to get toof h”

Brock pouted a bit, which was ridiculous since he was six foot two

“You work all the time, Penny,” he whined “What does that hair salon have that I don’t? Don’t you want to date like a norirl? I asked Jeanette, Pauline, and Marisa out last week, and they all said yes You’re the only one who’s said no Ever”

“Then you won’t miss me at all,” I retort merrily “You have a full dance card, Brock, and I wouldn’t want to mess it up”

Fortunately, Brock gave up the chase and satisfied himself with the Jeanettes, Paulines, and Marisas of the world because there was no way I was going to go out with hih school classood exael in his hair so that it looked greasy, nor did I like the way he whined and pouted like a little boy He was immature, just like the rest of his crew, and I’d be happier doing a shift at SexyFlow per usual

But Patrick Lancaster is a different story First, he has to be at least a decade older than my classmates, with the life experience to show for it He went to a fancy college on the East Coast, and then lived overseas while building out his grandfather’s e spent time there, which is insanely impressive
