Kalinda Gregory's life has been on pause for far too long, so when her neglectful boyfriend stands her up at a hotel bar on her birthday, she decides enough is enough and dumps him. Before she can even leave the bar, a handsome Marine starts making moves on her, saying all the right things. If she wants more from life, she'll need to stop waiting, and start taking chances. Anticipation is a steamy 6,000 word short story about a woman sick and tired of playing it safe.
