Here she was telling lies about dating Matt Kearns, a man she’d obviously not met, and he’d never been so entertained in his life. The worst part was wanting to convince her that Matt was no good for her so that she’d make their “break” a permanent one, giving him—the real Matt Kearns—a chance to date her. He had lost his mind. All because of her. She was doing a great job of making him forget about going down to Triple A to rehab his arm. For the past hour, he hadn’t worried at all about his less-than-stellar future. Hell, she was even getting him to rethink his resistance to that charity that wanted him to pose half-naked for its calendar. Thank goodness she wasn’t the one asking him to be in it. There wasn’t any way he could tell her no. Not after today. Allie made him think the future was going to be just fine. No lie. The best part? It felt like they had something special going on between them. All he had to do was make her forget about that Matt Kearns guy.
