What They Knew Before They Were Ready to Admit It

What if you knew your relationship had an expiration date?  That’s exactly the dilemma main character Cassie and her boyfriend Corey face in my steamy women’s fiction novel, Mr. Right is a Myth.  Cassie soon will be graduating college and moving on while Corey will remain behind to study for his doctorate.  The couple knew this since the beginning, so why is it so difficult to admit aloud?  

In the excerpt below, the couple must confront for the first time that their time together is running out. In crafting it, I wanted to explore their mixed emotions. 

I hope the scene gives you a meaningful glimpse into a relationship that is on the brink of change.
