Down, Then Up

By: Beth Labonte

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Lauren Oswald doesn’t expect to ever see her college love again. She certainly doesn’t expect to see him ten years later at her sister’s bachelorette party in Vegas. But there he is, Jamie Mullins—the first person to love her for the Lord of the Rings watching, Comic Con attending, closet nerd that she is—leaning against the back of a hotel elevator. Slightly older. Different haircut. No wedding ring. Same eyes. As the pair embark on a late night errand around the Vegas Strip, Lauren is flooded with memories of how Jamie became the one that got away—and the realization that this one night could be their last chance at making things right. **This is a novelette of approximately 13,000 words. This story first appeared in the Love in an Elevator Anthology.**

What the heck?

It just ends…what exactly was the story supposed to be? Very disappointed. Narration horrible.
