Three years of Sundays. One very bad idea. One very large orc.
Hadley Sinclair has a podcast where she reviews cold cases and gas station snacks and picks apart why smart women ignore what's right in front of them. Off-mic, she has a Saturday arrangement with her six-foot-eight, green, unfairly thorough best friend and a set of rules to make sure it means nothing. No feelings. No sleepovers. Done by Labor Day. If she has to wear a bra it's a date, and she doesn't do dates.
She calls him "My Guy" on the podcast. Her listeners are paying closer attention than she is. Zev has three years of patience and a very good reason for saying okay to every one of her rules.
One of them is in way over their head. It's not him.
