<\/a><\/p>\nWhen Lily finally left, Caitlin took the elastic out of her hair and walked to the window. She combed her fingers through her hair.<\/p>\n
She\u2019d opened her rooms in September and had been just in time to watch the annual arrival of the whales in these waters. From her second storey window she had a wonderful view over the whole of Walker Bay.<\/p>\n
With a smile she walked back to her laptop. She had the office to herself and couldn\u2019t wait to blog. She hadn\u2019t had a chance to update her blog since last weekend and wanted to catch up with her readers.<\/p>\n
At first the blog was her way of venting about her latest disastrous date. Fed up with the way she\u2019d been treated, she\u2019d started to write about the types of men girls out there on the dating circuit should steer clear of. To her amazement and delight, it seemed as if her blog had triggered something in many women and the blog had somehow gotten a life of its own.<\/p>\n
The only category of men she had never been able to write about, though, was the category of \u201cthe one\u201d. Probably because she didn\u2019t believe they existed. In her experience \u201cthe one\u201d existed only in the romance novels her mother wrote and rom-com movies.<\/p>\n
Chocolate-brown eyes. She grimaced. It had been nearly a week and she still remembered the cyclist she\u2019d treated the previous Saturday. Don. At the oddest times she would think about him, would worry about his back, would wonder whether he\u2019d seen another physiotherapist.<\/p>\n
She didn\u2019t know the man from Adam, but she\u2019d been having x-rated dreams about him all week. In her line of work she treated attractive men every day. Why she couldn\u2019t get this particular one out of her head was a mystery.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
