  ‘That’s not quite the word I’d use for her,’ I said. There was a pause. He stared at me for a moment and then smiled.

  ‘What?’ I asked. ‘Have I got something on my face?’

  ‘No, I just realised something,’ he said. ‘You’re thirty-five.’

  ‘Gee thanks…’

  ‘No, you look beautiful,’ he added. ‘It suits you.’

  ‘You don’t look bad yourself,’ I said.

  We stared at each other.

  ‘Do you remember that day, our wedding that never was?’

  ‘How could I forget?’

  ‘I asked you when you might be ready to marry me, and you told me it wouldn’t be until you were at least thirty-five…’

  ‘That seemed like a hell of a long time in the future,’ I said.

  Jamie nodded.

  ‘And yet, here we are.’

  ‘I should have said forty-five,’ I added, only half joking. ‘Anyway, Jamie, I was a different person back then. And you said wedding or nothing. It was kind of an extreme ultimatum.’

  ‘You’re right, it was,’ he said. We paused again.

  ‘This still feels all messed up,’ I said. He hesitated and then put his hand out.

  ‘Then let’s start again,’ he said. ‘From the beginning. Hi, I’m Jamie Dawson.’

  I looked at his hand for a moment and then took it in mine.

  ‘Hello, I’m Natalie Love.’

  ‘Pleased to meet you Natalie,’ he said. Just then Sharon came bustling past.

  ‘Jamie! I’m so glad you made it. What are you doing Nat, keeping him out on the doorstep? Come in, we’re in the living room, about to cut the pavlova,’ she said, and bustled off back down the corridor.

  ‘So where do we start, getting to know each other?’ I asked. He leant in and gave me a kiss. His lips were warm and firm and I felt a jolt of desire in my stomach. He slowly pulled away and smiled.

  ‘That’s a bit forward, for someone you’ve only just met,’ I smiled.

  ‘I’m almost thirty-six, time is ticking,’ he replied.

  ‘Well, you’d better come in then,’ I said.

  Jamie grinned and stepped inside to join the party, and I closed the door behind us.

  A note from Rob

  First of all, I want to say a huge thank you for choosing to read Miss Wrong and Mr Right. If you did enjoy it, I would be very grateful if you could write a review. I’d love to hear what you think, and reviews really help new readers to discover one of my books for the first time.

  If you want to drop me a line, you can get in touch on my Facebook Page, through Twitter, Goodreads or my website www.robertbryndza.com. I love to hear from readers, and it blows me away every time I hear how much you’ve taken my books into your hearts. There are lots more to come (including, yes, more adventures from Coco Pinchard) so I hope you stay with me for the ride!
