Le blurb: 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:
She pushed to her feet and met him
on the edge of the sidewalk. With a sassy smirk, she plucked the pen out of his
shirt pocket and waved it tauntingly. “That might be hard to do without your
trusty pen here.”
“You
don’t think I have other pens?”
“You
might, but not as nice as this one I’ll bet...because this is a really nice pen.”
Patrick
shook his head and chuckled. “It’s a fountain pen, worth more than the ticket
woulda been.”
“The pen is mightier.”
He
rocked back on his heels and shoved his hands into his pockets, and her eyes
found themselves glued to his movements. And her mind wondered how mighty his
other pen might be.
Today is a very special day, besides being the first day of November and the day after Halloween. It's my grandpa's 96th birthday! He's absolutely amazing for 96. The sweetest, kindest, gentlest man I know. He loves to share stories about the good old days, loves to eat fish and chips and big breakfasts, loves to sing, and he loves to tell jokes. I know I got my sense of humour from him, and I have his eyes too. Hope everyone enjoys their day as much as I'm certain my grandpa will! :)

You are a rascal and you got it from your grandpa. Your description of him made me salivate. What a catch and a sweetheart. I'm 84, still flirting, dancing and carrying on even though I'm married. Have fun, enjoy life.
