Shy Girl

Dagny:

Once upon a time, I thought my stutter was the worst thing that ever happened to me. But now I know better.
Being held at gunpoint outranks a speech impediment any day.
Thankfully, my longtime crush Jayson Hernandez tackled that problem to the ground with those broad shoulders—the ones that make my stutter oh-so-much-worse.
As if he hasn't held my heart in his strong, capable hands ever since I adored him from the shadows in high school. Or every day he comes into the coffee shop with a new date. Or each time he shoots me a friendly smile that makes my toes curl.
Then he proposes something so insane it's my heart that starts to stutter. And I can't turn him down, even though I want to.
Because there's a part of me that still believes I'm Cinderella too.
And oh, how I want him to realize he's Prince Charming after all.

Jayson:

My friends are the best guys...
