Sheβs not supposed to think heβs hot.
Em has known Ward Knightley all her life, and sheβs never thought he was hot before. Heβs always been only a family friend--thirteen years older than her and far too bossy. He gives her brotherly advice and lectures her when she does something silly, and the rest of the time he just laughs at her. Sure, heβs smart and handsome and funny and kind. But heβs not hot.
Heβs really not.
Heβs not supposed to be anyway. But once Em starts seeing him in a new way, she canβt think about him the way she did before. Sheβs usually good at arranging the world around her. She helps her friends find jobs and romantic partners, and she always has herself under control. But nothing is controlled about the way sheβs now wants Ward as so much more than a family friend.
If only he didnβt still think about her as a little girl.
