A notification popped up, the blue Facebook glow reflecting in Amelia's wide eyes. *Chad "The Bruiser" Bradley sent you a friend request.* She tapped the profile. Oh, the irony! There he was, looking all chiseled and… older. A small, almost involuntary giggle escaped her lips.

She clicked the "View Profile" button, scrolling through photos of him posing with expensive cars and grinning into the camera. Amelia’s cheeks hurt from the effort of suppressing a wider smile. He'd never know how much she'd *always* wanted that vintage Mustang.

"Maybe I *should* accept," she murmured, a wicked glint in her eyes. "Just to see what he's up to." She clicked the "Accept" button. The game was afoot.
