Edge of Attraction Read Online Free PDF

more informed now, having been in one of the fashion capitals of the world. I think it will really jump-start my career, you know?” She had so much enthusiasm. Her face lit up whenever she talked and it was hard not to gain a sense of positivity when being around her.
    “Did you go to a lot of fashion shows?” I walked across the room and got some ice cream out of the freezer. I wiggled my butt playfully, like I was a model on one of those runways, and Jess cracked up. I scooped us each a bowl of ice cream, and then curled up back on the couch.
    “I went to a bunch of fashion shows, and let me tell you. My incredible boyfriend set up the shoots over there, and seriously, he made these some of the best fashion experiences, ever.” She nodded her head and dove into her ice cream. I was always amazed that she could eat as much junk food as I did, but still remain pencil thin. I had to work out extra hard if I indulged. She looked up and smiled. “Basically, it was the bomb.”
    I couldn’t help but feel a twinge of jealousy. Even though Jess was my best friend, she was so stunningly beautiful that I sometimes felt like the ugly duckling whenever we were together. Jeremy was also great, and it made me wish I had someone as good as him. Jess had confidence. It was easy to see why men were attracted to her. She had an air that suggested she could conquer the world and have no problems doing it. I sighed and told myself that it was silly to be jealous. She was my best friend, and she was also a good person.
    Besides, maybe I was starting something new, growing into a confident woman, myself, with my new profile at Scintilla.
    Bub nestled in between Jess and me. When I thought Jess wasn’t looking, I checked my phone to see if there were any messages from EdensNomad. Nope. I tried to hide my disappointment.
    “What do you keep checking your phone for?” Jess asked. “Do you have a new secret boyfriend or something?”
    Just then, EdensNomad sent me a text. Woohoo!
    “Who, me?” I asked Jess. I quickly texted back that I would talk to him later. It was hard to wipe the grin off my face.
    Jess waved her spoon in my face. “Okay, girl. Spill the beans. Who have you been texting?”
    It was going to be much too difficult keeping it a secret any longer, so I caved in. “Well, I set up a profile. On Scintilla. It was kind of an impulse thing, you know?” I sat up straighter on the couch and gave Bub a stroke on the head. “I really didn’t have any expectations, but after only one day of having my profile on the site, I got a Spark.”
    Jess looked puzzled. “A Spark?”
    “Yeah. It’s basically a little message informing you that someone has interest in you. None of this is a big deal. Believe me. I was just really bored the other night and set up a profile. It’s my company’s site, so I thought I might as well test out our product, you know?” I sat back and put down my phone, trying not to look at it to see if EdensNomad had already texted back.
    With a war cry, Jess reached forward and snatched the phone. I laughed and let her have it. She started to giggle as she scrolled through my messages. “Oh, he’s sweet,” she said. “I approve!”
    After a minute, I tried to grab it back, but she jumped up and ran away. I chased her around the couch until she finally pretended to get ready to toss it back to me.
    “Uh oh.” She faked a concerned look. Her eyes widened and she covered her mouth with her hand. “You just got another message!” She threw her arms up in the air in an exaggerated motion.
    With a battle cry of my own, I lunged forward and snatched my phone. The text was from EdensNomad. “I’d really like to meet you in person. Dinner, tomorrow night?”
    I screamed out loud and Jess started to jump up and down, even though she had no idea why we were freaking out. I caught our bouncing reflections in the hallway mirror. Suddenly, a feeling of anxiety swept over me and I froze. I didn’t have
