Oh, crap. There’s no need to panic.

Yes, just take deep breaths.

“Are you alright?”, Jessica asks as she made her way into my room.

Jessica’s my youngest sister and also my BFF. Not that my eldest sister, Jane isn’t. It’s just that I get along a teeny bit better with Jess.

“Juliet?”

“I’m fine. Just nervous, that’s all.”, I say pointedly.

I’m Juliet Woods. I got the name Juliet because my mum was a Romeo and Juliet aficionado. There’s nothing special about me, honestly. I’m five-feet-nine and most of the guys I’ve dated are about a few inches shorter than I am and most of them are pretty intimidated.

“You don’t have to be nervous. You’re just going to a decent date with Mr. Hottie on Valentine’s Day.”, she says in a blissful tone.

“ I guess you’re right. How do I look?”, I ask.

I know I look absolutely stunning. I’m just asking for another person’s point of view, just to be on the safe side.

I’m going out on a date with Jacob, a tall, tanned and super gorgeous banker who lives on Fifth Avenue. We met at a friend of mine’s party last week. All I could say it was love at first sight. I know you think it’s kind of corny but I’m twenty-three and I still believe what I read in romance novels.

“Aren’t you going to be late? It’s already half-past six.”, Jess says as she looks at the clock.

“Oh. My. God. Thanks, Jess. See you tonight.”,  I say as I hurry to the door.

I race down the stairs and manage to hail a cab on a busy Saturday evening.
