Perfect Man
Chapter One
“I have the perfect man for you, Alex.”
“I’m not really looking for a man right now, perfect or otherwise,” Alexander
Nichols told his sister. He shifted his cell phone to his other ear and continued to type
the email message to his client.
“Don’t you think it’s time you started dating?”
“It hasn’t been that long, Jill.”
Jill sighed heavily. “Travis broke up with you eight months ago. He’s moved on.
He’s got a new boyfriend and Ken said he told him they are talking about moving in
together.”
Alex paused, his fingers poised over the keyboard. His ex-boyfriend’s brother, Ken,
also happened to be Jill’s husband. It made things more than a little awkward at family
gatherings. What few they’d had since Travis had dumped him. He winced and
resumed typing.
“Whatever. What does that have to do with me?”
“The point is you seem rather pathetic because you haven’t even gone on a single
date since.”
“How do you know?”
Silence greeted his question, but only for about ten seconds. “Have you?”
Alex was tempted to lie. He really was. A tiny white lie would shut his sister up. At
least for a short time. Nothing ever shut his older sister up for good.
“Well… I had coffee with someone a couple of weeks ago.” He had, sort of. The
coffee place he frequented ran out of tables and an old man sitting alone at one of them
invited him to take the vacant chair.
