Getting tangled up in fantasies about some man Joy saw maybe five or six times a year was ridiculous.

And it wasn''t like Gray ever encouraged her. He remembered her name. But that was as far as it ever got. Well, except in her dreams. In real life, however, the attraction was totally one-sided. Or so she thought.
