First published 2015
Lola and Oliver congratulate themselves on their restraint. They got married drunk in Las Vegas but never consummated it, and now they maintain they're better off as friends. Lola has wanted Oliver from the start. His Australian accent and relaxed nature draw her in, and she feels unusually comfortable around him despite preferring her art studio to social situations. Oliver regrets not acting on their Vegas opportunity. He watches other women pursue him while he thinks about Lola and what he really wants with her, which goes far beyond friendship. When Lola's graphic novel gains national recognition and gets picked up for a film adaptation, Oliver supports her through the unwanted spotlight. Lola dislikes the attention but maybe she'll eventually notice him the way he sees her. Both must take a leap of faith to recognize what stands right in front of them. Their dark Vegas night might mark not just an ending but the start of something bright.
