After a disastrous vacation breakup with the man who was supposed to be The One, KK O'Brien decides sheβs done. Love will find her when the time is right.
On her flight home, sheβs seated next to a male soldier, Aidan Dominguez, whom she ignores, because one: he is male (a trait sheβs recently excised from her mind), two: heβs younger than her, and three: heβs on his way to be deployed overseas (geographically undesirable). When weather grounds her flight, she agrees to a drink and more with Aidan. After all, heβs leaving the country and sheβs done projecting hope and wedding bells onto encounters with men. KK knows this is nothing more than a one-night stand with an extremely sexy soldier. Itβs practically her patriotic duty to send him off to war with a good last memory.
Aidan and KK have a great night together and they part with the expectation that theyβll never see each other again. Only, a few weeks later, the first email from Aidan arrives. Once she replies, another arrives, and soon an epistolary love affair blossoms where love was never supposed to grow. When Aidan asks for a shot at being her man, KK must decide if sheβs brave enough to take another chance on love.
Susan’s Thoughts
Great story about an older lady (KK) meeting a younger military man (Aidan) on a plane ride – she returning home after a disastrous surprise visit to her boyfriend and he an his way to deployment to Afghanistan. A snow storm has their connecting flight canceled and a dilema of where or what to do.Β This is a touching story about a 30 something woman and a 20 something man and how they keep in touch through deployment and find out whether they can survive it and whether they are more than a one night friends.
