Celebrating Solo?

A jolly, "just kisses" friends-to-lovers romance↵This holiday season, her plan for [no] dates is in full swing!↵Because, hey. It's been quite a while since she's been able to catch any guy's notice for anything. No, cheap pick-up pitches from gawking strangers at the gas station don't count. Neither do spiels from that attractive salesman in town who's been much too, um, "customer friendly" in a store known for its pathetic customer service.↵So, in the midst of her dateless difficulties, Sheridan Jones has decided to take action—by dating herself.↵Easy as that! Right?↵(This novelette was previously published as The "She" Stands Alone.)
