Just This Once (39 page)
“What? How?”
“Bridget. Lovely to look at, and a kind girl as well. Too
soft, though. She fancied him for ages. When he started taking her out, she was
over the moon, hearing wedding bells. Course it didn’t last more than a month
or so. It never does, with him. He moved on to someone else, and that was the
end of Bridget. The same old sad, short story.”
“He cheated on her?”
“Not cheated, exactly,” Corinne admitted. “Gave her the push
all the same, though. She stuck it out here for a bit after that. But it got to
be too much for her, seeing him around the place, and she gave notice. So, from
what I hear, if you want a bit of fun, you’ll have it. But be warned, that’s
all it’ll be. He’s not a keeper.”
“Thanks for the warning,” Kate told her. “But I think I can
safely promise you that I’ll never be interested in dating Koti James.”
