Just Another (Summer Romance #2)

Prologue

Luke,

I was thinking if we both turn 40 and are still single, we should get married. Not for sex or anything, but just so we both have someone. What do you think?

Mia

From: Lukehaverbrook@

To: Miaisaprincess@

I think not. Is this a way for you to get me to support you for the rest of your life? I thought you wanted to marry for love and not money?

Luke

From: Miaisaprincess@

To: Lukehaverbrook@

Wouldn’t you support me if I was old and broke anyway? Isn’t that what best friends do?

Mia

From: Lukehaverbrook@

To: Miaisaprincess@

Is this your way of asking me to take care of you in your old age? I suppose I can do that without us getting married, Mia. I think a wife and no sex kinda defeats the purpose, don’t you?

Luke

From: Miaisaprincess@

To: Lukehaverbrook@

Luke, do you care more about sex than love? I want to marry for love. For unbreakable, soul-shattering love.

From: Lukehaverbrook@

To: Miaisaprincess@

You mean in the case that you don’t marry me for my money? Or are you expressing your undying love to me?

From: Miaisaprincess@

To: Lukehaverbrook@

You are my best friend, and I love you, Lukey.

But if I am lucky enough to meet my soulmate, I want it to be earth-shattering. I want him to make me feel like the only woman in the world.

From: Lukehaverbrook@

To: Miaisaprincess@

Not asking for much, huh? I guess I understand why you want me as your backup now. But isn’t 40 a bit early to give up on your dreams of fictional love?

From: Miaisaprincess@

To: Lukehaverbrook@

I still want to have kids. So, if we hit 40 and are still single, it’s you and me, baby. And before you ask, we will do IVF, thank you very much.

From: Lukehaverbrook@

To: Miaisaprincess@

So romantic, Mia. I feel so honored to have been chosen to be your life partner if we both crash out and burn in trying to find real partners!

But time for me to get back to work. Speak soon.

Your maybe soon-to-be hubby,

Luke
