Then we became friends. Then I fell completely, mind-torturingly in love with her. Oh, wait-I think that happened first.

Excerpt: "All right, Sky," Jamie said, sounding confident, and pushed aside his plate. "I'm going to do you a personal favor. You can thank me later. Or now-your call." Squinting at him, Sky said, "What are you talking about?" "I'll help you filter out the losers right away." "How?" "Simple. I'm a guy myself. I know what other guys are about.

Just the way you girls all understand each other-but guys don't understand girls very well at all. Am I right?" "Yes," she agreed. "But.how would this work?" "How about this? If I run into you while you're out on one of your blind dates, I'll let you know my read on the guy. Right then and there. We'll need some sort of signal, of course." "Hmm.I'm tempted to go along with this," Sky said thoughtfully.

"But I'm skeptical." "Of course you are," Jamie said, nonplussed. "You're a cynic. Let me help you." She gave a laugh and rolled her eyes. "Fine, so is this a pass/fail type of thing?" "Pass/fail, yes, that's a good idea," Jamie agreed. "And what kind of signal should we use? It would have to be really subtle, of course." "Let's keep it simple," Jamie suggested.

"Thumbs down means dump him. Thumbs up means hump him." "That's disgusting." Jamie laughed out loud. "I'm kidding." Shaking her head, Sky laughed, too. Then said: "Why would you even want to help me with my dating life anyway?" "Why not?" Jamie replied. "You're helping me, right?" he said, motioning to the plant on the windowsill.

"We'll call it even.".
