Getting Lucky
In the chick lit I had piled four-books deep on my nightstand, I would have been described best as a big, beautiful woman.
Not that I was beautiful, but I was passable. Gracie, on the other hand, was beautiful in every sense of the word, inside and out. She was soft and gentle to my bold and, sometimes, a little brash. Where Gracie only spoke when she had something to say and was very shy around new people, I had trouble stopping myself from saying everything on my mind. As far as new people went, I figured strangers were only friends I hadn’t met yet.
