Unexpected Expectations — Lauren Helms

KevinWith everyone around me settling down, I'm happy to continue living my life single and carefree. That is unless I can convince the concierge, Lucy Wilson at 425 Madison to finally take me up on that offer to go out on a date.She's beautiful, friendly, and her compassion for each and every one of the residents is admirable. Something tells me that she doesn't see herself that way at all though. This is why I've made it my mission to break her out of her overly cautious shell starting with a lucky penny and a $10 raffle ticket.It was all supposed to be a little fun but when a large dose of lucky graces us, everything suddenly becomes unexpected.LucyHe thinks I don't see him, but I do. Oh yes, I've been aware of the all too good looking Kevin Harper for quite some time now. The thing is, I'm not sure that we have enough in common and I sure don't have the free time for a social life between my job and school. Dating? That's pretty far down on the list of things I'd like to check off - not by choice. That is until Kevin convinces me that a little fun is good for the soul. What started as a $10 raffle ticket turned into a vacation in Vegas and a whole lot of expectations that neither of us saw coming.I always believed in fairy tales, but I wonder if what we have is too good to be true. I can only hope that it's true what they say...After all, 425 Madison is the perfect place to fall in love.
