Tempted Trapped and Too Late to Run

Chapter 148

"Your life is yours to live, but don't wait until Simon's cradling his kid and you're still flying solo. Once you've figured things out, give me a shout. Loads of eligible ladies in New York wouldn't mind waiting for you."

As he spoke, Walter rubbed his brow a bit. "You've always been self-sufficient, so why stumble when it comes to love?"
