Polished Off: Magnolia Point : A Man of the Month Novella
Layne Daniels
Since she took over the Diddled Fiddle, I’ve stood by her side, ready to leap in and help with anything she needs. So when a plumbing emergency threatens to flood the speed dating event she organized, she doesn’t hesitate to call me. And I come running, just like the dutiful best friend/hopelessly devoted idiot I am.
Did I say she tortured me? I didn’t know torture.

Yeah... Let the actual torture begin.
