Book excerpt: Vivian recently turned thirty. Her boyfriend of the last ten years left her for another woman, a much younger woman. She gave him the best years of her life and now she wants them back. The dating scene is different now then it was ten years ago, and she resorts to online dating apps. One night she asks a stranger at the bar to walk her home. She sees him there most weekends and he lives just across the hall from her. He looks less harmless than her most recent date seemed to be. Hutch finds himself alone and drunk most nights. He might have a drinking problem, but there isn’t anyone to stop him. He can’t seem to get over the love of his life, even though she sure is over him. The bar down the street is where he spends all of his free time. He notices her, she comes in almost every Saturday night, but never with the same guy. She could do better. One night she asks him to walk her home.
