What Happened to Happily Ever After?
an excerpt

A reason? I couldn’t think of any possible reason for Rory to just pretend to be Dante, to pretend to care about me, and to say all of those things to me. I loved Dante, and instead of getting the person that I had grown close to, and who’s little quirks I loved, I got a complete stranger. There wasn’t one thing about Rory that I knew. No similarities between her and Dante at all. There was a vague resemblence to the photo I had, but that was about it. Dante was not the kind of guy that would just follow me through the airport like a lost puppy, then sit on a suitcase and wait for me to just figure out what the hell I was going to do about everything. Of course, if the person I had met at the airport really was Dante, then there would be no need for me to figure out what the hell I was going to do. I could have picked him up at the airport, then we could have gone to my favorite restuarant Ma Soba for sushi, and whatever Dante would chose to eat, and bonded. Talked about all of the things that we had talked about online, I could explain the scar over my eye, with him actually able to see it, he would make fun of me for being old, and it would be just like the way we talked before, just more intense, more real. I’d be able to hear his tone of voice, and get his jokes the first time around instead of him always having to tell me that he was kidding.
