ANNE I’m an accountant. No shame in that. I rather like my nice, comfortable life. Maybe one day I’ll meet a nice, comfortable man, and we’ll have a nice comfortable relationship. But excitement, passion? No, that’s for girls much bolder than me. But then I have to deal with a customer at the hotel where I work, and it’s Brandon Jack! My brother’s best friend from school, and my secret crush ever since. BRANDON Anne Smith! The girl I was smitten with from the start, and who has grown into a more achingly beautiful woman than I would have thought possible. And the girl who was completely off limits. She was my best friend’s little sister. No way was I going to risk blowing up their family with a clumsy move.
