"Random hookups were my way of feeling like someone admired me, because until, like, a month ago I had absolutely no admiration for myself" I say, finally opening up to someone about my internal turmoil. Myles reaches forward, kissing the inside of my elbow where my 'i win' tattoo lays. "Perfect" he breathes out and when he looks me in the eyes, I forget why I was ever scared to feel this way. • Joana & Myles • Joana Collymore finds herself living the life she always wanted. Having an apartment in New York to herself, owning a successful company and constantly being surrounded by friends seems to be the new normal for her. But now that it has been almost six years since the darkness of her past, Joana might just be ready to accept love again. Or does the fear she felt before keep her from discovering health in fondness. Myles isn't the type to randomly play with girl's feelings. He's lived with two sisters since the youngest one was born 16 years ago, so he respects women's feelings too much. But after a very public failed relationship, Myles finds it hard to keep putting himself in the position of getting hurt or hurting someone, so maybe some hookups won't hurt as much. Does he keep that mindset when a new 'friend' comes into his life?
