With a jolt, Lance realized Melissa was pretty. No, not…
““With a jolt, Lance realized Melissa was pretty. No, not the type that would make him stop in the middle of his morning runs on Iloilo River Esplanade, his gray running shoes scraping against the pavement as he skid to a halt. He realized Melissa was pretty the same way he sometimes caught himself singing along to a song he didn’t even like on the radio. The knowledge sneaked up on him.””
