“George Hartmann?” she continues.
“Why, yes,” I say, perplexed.
“Well, Liam Hartmann is your uncle, right?” I nod eagerly as she explains. “I know Liam and Estella, and for the past two years, he's been telling me you and I should meet because we’d be good for each other. He says we're both knuckleheads.”
“Liam never once mentioned you to me,” I say, smiling big, “but if you want to go out, we can certainly go out.” I feel a rush of warmth washing over me just thinking about the possibility.
She blushes, then tips her head upwards, as if to the heavens, and I see tears beginning to form in her eyes.
“What’s your name?” I ask.
“I’m Alessandra Davies. Pleased to finally meet you, George Hartmann.”

A note from Author Kelly Utt
Did you enjoy this story? You can make a big difference.
Reviews are the most powerful tools in my arsenal when it comes to getting attention for my books. As much as I’d like to, I don’t have the financial muscle of a New York publisher. I can’t take out full page ads in the newspaper or put posters on the subway.
(Not yet, anyway.)
But I do have something much more effective than that, and it’s something that those publishers would kill to get their hands on.
A committed and loyal group of readers.
Honest reviews of my books help bring them to the attention of other readers.
If you’ve enjoyed this story, I would be very grateful if you could spend just five minutes leaving a review (it can be as short as you like) on the book’s Amazon page and on Goodreads or BookBub. You can jump right to those pages by clicking the links below.

Kelly Utt writes emotional novels for readers who enjoy both suspense and sentimentality. She was born in Youngstown, Ohio in 1976.
Kelly grew up with a dad who would read a book on a weighty topic, ask her to read it, too, and then insist they discuss it together, igniting her passion for life's big questions. That passion is often reflected in Kelly's novels, giving them a depth which leaves readers wanting more and thinking about her stories long after the last lines are read.
Kelly holds a Bachelor’s degree in psychology from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville and she studied graduate-level interactive media at Quinnipiac University.
She lives in the Nashville suburb of Franklin, Tennessee with her husband and sons.
