The Stupidest Holiday of the Year: A Playing Sweeter Short Story

After thirteen years of marriage I, Jenessa Rousseau, am finally divorced. My friends push me to date again but I’m not ready to put a toe in those waters. Instead I’m working through my roller coaster ride of feelings at the gym. At least the treadmill won’t complain I didn’t fold its socks right or cheat on me.

My not-dating plan is going great until Max, the chiseled trainer in the “Naughty but Nice” T-shirt, volunteers to help me work out. 

Max is dangerously hot, kind, smart, and, wait – what? Twelve years younger than me? When he asks if I have Valentine’s Day plans I almost fall over, but then smoothly reply, “No - that’s the stupidest holiday of the year.”

But sometimes the stars align. And sometimes you find yourself healing. And sometimes the stupidest holiday of the year can turn into the sweetest one...
