Blurby: After too many failed relationships, too many shots of tequila, and too many not-so-gentle nudges from her best friend, Sydney Montrose joins an online dating site in hopes of finding THE ONE. During her adventures, she crosses paths with a professional gamer who lives with his parents, a sweet and sarcastic parking enforcement officer, a flirty barista, a mystery man, a touchy-feely former felon, and a clown. Which one will she choose? Well, that's all entirely up to you!
And here's an excerpt, continuing from where we left off:
“Trust me,” he said, “everyone is
capable of juggling. It’s just a simple pattern you have to mold your brain
into memorizing.” He grabbed a few napkins from the
dispenser on the table and rolled them into balls.
Watching
Charlie prepare his props and explain the art of juggling brought a smile to
her face. The immense joy written in his features left her breathless. She
really didn’t give a damn if juggling increased the grey matter in your brain.
This man made her heart tick like a time bomb because he did care. He was so full of love and passion and energy. Imagining
what his energy would be like in the bedroom increased the ticking to triple
time.

DeleteA few years back, I was researching juggling for a story I was writing at the time and reading about how good it was for improving cognitive function. Great snippet, Evelyn.
