    About this ebook

    What if you could know the day you’d fall in love — and then call in sick to avoid it?


    Ella has anguished over her secret crush on the guy in the opposite cubicle. With one calm but deep glance, he can make her shy heart shiver.


    After pining away for a year, Ella’s heart is so far gone that she sometimes wishes she’d never met him. But when they get stuck in an elevator, all of that changes.


    Follow Ella and Jack as fate catches them by surprise in this sweet romantic short story.
