Someone To Have

<p><span style=background-color: rgba(255 255 255 1); color: rgba(15 17 17 1)>I've spent my life hiding in the quiet corners of the library. It's safer surrounded by books where the happily-ever-afters are guaranteed. Real life romance? Not so much.</span></p><p></p><p><span style=background-color: rgba(255 255 255 1); color: rgba(15 17 17 1)>But apparently I'm tired of my hermit life because I do something spectacularly stupid and agree to get on stage. In front of people. All to catch my longtime crush's attention.</span></p><p></p><p><span style=background-color: rgba(255 255 255 1); color: rgba(15 17 17 1)>The only problem?

He makes me feel bolder braver and dangerously close to falling for the wrong guy.</span></p><p></p><p><span style=background-color: rgba(255 255 255 1); color: rgba(15 17 17 1)>Now I'm standing center stage in more ways than one. And when you've spent your whole life in the shadows stepping into the light is the scariest thing of all.</span></p>
