How Do You Know?
by Meredith Schorr
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
On the eve of her
thirty-ninth birthday, Maggie Piper doesn’t look, act, or feel much different
than she
did at twenty-nine, but with her fortieth birthday speeding toward her
like a freight train, she wonders if she should. The fear of a slowing
metabolism, wrinkling of her skin, and the ticking of her biological clock
leaves Maggie torn between a desire to settle down like most of her
similarly-aged peers and concern that all is not perfect in her existing
relationship. When a spontaneous request for a temporary break from her live-in
boyfriend results in a breakup, Maggie finds herself single once again and only
twelve months from the big 4.0.
As Maggie reenters the
New York City dating jungle, suitors present themselves quickly, but who is
“The One?” Is he a sexy coworker, one of many bachelors at a speed-dating
event, or is he the man she already set free? How do you know? Her fun-loving
friends and supportive family, including meddlesome “no-filter” Aunt Helen,
eagerly share their (often unsolicited) opinions, but Maggie is determined to
find her own way, even if she falls on her face—repeatedly.

Now for an Excerpt:
“What kind of accolades do you think I receive from my
esteemed colleagues?”
I scratch my chin, pretending to ponder the question. “I
would imagine people have commented positively on your skills as an attorney.”
Dismissing me with a wave of his hand, Philip says, “Good
attorneys are a dime a dozen in this place. Or at least I hope so.”
“Okay. What about that you’re approachable and friendly?”
Philip gives me a closed-mouth smile and nods. “I suppose
I’ve heard that before, but it’s not exactly a blush-worthy compliment now, is
it?”
I cock my head to the side. “I wasn’t aware you were hoping
for a compliment which would make you blush.” As Philip remains riveted in
place, seemingly eager for my next words, it dawns on me this is my chance to
“work it.”
Philip rubs the back of his neck. “Oh, now I’m fishing. I’m
being silly. Let’s forget I brought it—”
Interrupting him, I say, “How about you have the most
beautiful brown eyes I’ve ever seen on a man?”
In the mere seconds it takes him to respond, I feel like
I’ve aged several years, and as I wonder whether what I’d said could be
construed as sexual harassment in the work place, I think I might throw up.
His hand still stroking his neck, he mumbles, “Well, Maggie
Piper, I’ll be damned. You did it.”
“Did what?” I ask in a low voice. Got myself fired?

About the Author:
A born-and-bred
New Yorker, Meredith Schorr discovered her passion for writing when she began
to enjoy drafting work-related emails way more than she was probably supposed
to. After trying her hand penning children’s stories and blogging her personal
experiences, Meredith found her calling writing chick lit and humorous women’s
fiction. She secures much inspiration from her day job as a hardworking
trademark paralegal and her still-single (but looking) status. Meredith is a
loyal New York Yankees fan, an avid runner, and an unashamed television addict.
