Cupid Has a Broken Arrow

Lucid Lady

She stared blankly at the piece of paper in here hand.
            A wedding!  Another wedding!!!  Shavit, was everyone getting married
these days?
            She sighed.  She was happy for them.  She really was, but when you
were alone a wedding only seemed to amplify the loneliness.
            She had had men in her life.  She had befriended an entire squadrons
worth after joining Rogue Squadron.  She had even flirted with more than she
could count.  But as far as boyfriends, she had had only one.
            And what a catch he was.   She thought sarcastically.
            It had hurt watching him die.  She had loved him.  The pain had been
unbearable, but she had pushed it aside.  Done what needed to be done at the
time.  She had gone on.
            And now here she was so many years later still alone.  It had been
her choice, yet she had made it.  She had remained alone.
            She had distanced herself from men.  They were good friends.  They
were even fun to flirt with.  But to date, that had been where she had drawn the
line.
            And yes, I know they�re not all jerks like Thyne.
            The truth was she had never met anyone she was willing to step out
of her comfort zone for.  She was afraid of the risks that dating involved.  She
was scared to death at the chance of another broken heart that she didn�t even
try to open it up again.
            Never again!!! These games end here.   I�m sick of being alone.
            She didn�t know if she would ever find anyone but she knew she would
try.
