Maybe because he hasnt met the right one.
Wont matter. Josh isnt going to let himself find the right one.
If the right woman dropped into his lap, hed be too busy running the other way to notice. Not that Piper entirely blamed him for his behavior. With her close-knitsometimes suffocatingly sofamily, she didnt pretend to understand what it must have been like to grow up being bounced between foster homes. People coming and going through Joshs life as if it had some sort of invisible revolving door had probably become the norm for him. His dating habits now simply reflected the pattern.
So this string of broken hearts, is that the reason youve never gone for him yourself? Gina asked, surprisingly stubborn this morning. Normally all it took was one of Pipers were-just-friends pronouncements to change the subject.
I dont need a reason not to go for him. Im not looking for romance, remember?
Gina sighed. And yet youre the one going away for the weekend with the sexy guy.
Yeah. Piper would love to laugh off her friends commentexcept the fact that she was going away for the weekend with a sexy guy was what had kept her awake all last night. How far would she and Josh need to go to convince others they were a couple? The man stiffened whenever she casually hugged him, and lately, she was no better. Yesterday, her entire body had tensed whenever he got close to her. So what would happen if he actually had to, say, kiss her?
And why didnt she believe her own self-assurances that she wasnt secretly dying to find out?
