“Charlie loves Sav,” River muses. “Talk to him, but you can already bet that he’s on board.”
“Yeah, that sounds right.” I make a face. “What am I doing, exactly?”
“Okay,” Rex says, spreading his hands. “This is what I’m thinking–.”
“Oh god,” I groan. “Do I want to hear this plan?”
My father shrugs.
“I heard it on the ride over to the marina. It’s half-cocked and has a lot of moving parts,” Dad grouses. “Butttt…”
“It’s genius,” Rex says, shooing away Dad’s words. “Now what you’ll need is….”

Savannah
Breathe. Just breathe.
I straighten my short blue dress, and look toward the door of the Cape Winery, the nicest wine bar on the Georgia coast.
Today, I’m officially moving on from Cole. He was wonderful - interesting and hot, debonair and funny. But he isn’t my dream guy.
He doesn’t have long, flowing hair. If Cole plays guitar, or wanders, shirtless, on the beach, I haven’t seen it. And most importantly…
Cole isn’t sunny. He is very intelligent, endlessly amusing, and gloriously sexy. But no one would mistake his intense thundercloud of a personality for sunshine.
This guy that I found on Cupid’s Arrow… he might hit all the right buttons. Maybe, just maybe, this time I will meet my Prince Charming.
I see Will when he sweeps into the bar. He tosses his chin-length, gorgeous blond hair. He looks around the room, and I can see that he’s wearing a well-worn, camel hair sweater over a pair of dark jeans. He spots me, and his face splits into a grin.
God, he is absolutely drool-worthy. Six feet even, handsome like an Abercrombie model, with his sleeves pushed up to show his forearms.
It’s funny, but I don’t feel the pull that I usually feel when I think about my dream guy. But then again, maybe it’s too early to tell.
“Savannah?” he asks.
I stand and paste on a smile. “You must be Will.”
“So nice to meet you.” He shakes my hand and gestures to the empty seat next to me. “May I?”
“Omigod, please!” I sit down. “Thanks for agreeing to meet me.”
“Totally. I was going to throw on my wet suit and surf. But I read your message and like… you’re so freaking beautiful. I couldn’t believe it.”
I blush slightly. My smile falters.
It’s not that I don’t want him to notice my beauty. I do. I dressed up and came on this date! But coming from anybody but Cole, the words sound hollow.
I force my smile to brighten. “Thanks. I think you are super handsome. Just ten out of ten. I mean, WOW.”
Will grins. “Right on. Are you from here?”
“Yup. Born and raised. You?”
“I’m from Charleston, but I have some family down this way. I’m visiting them, and working as a traveling veterinarian. I mostly work with marine wildlife.”
“Oh wow! That sounds amazing. Like dolphins, and whales, and stuff?”
