I've waited my whole life to meet someone as sexy and wonderful as Finn, but it’s never going to work. Even if I didn’t have a job that made him insanely jealous, my fear of abandonment would keep getting in the way.Thank goodness for great girlfriends, because the road to sexily-ever-after is a rocky ride!
