About this listen
TJ, Guy, and I gathered around the table on the terrace. The two of them just looked at me. I began by bursting into tears. They were dumbfounded. It was such an uncharacteristic thing for me to do. So much for being composed.
While you pull yourself together, dear one, Guy said, you might begin by facing the reality of your daily life head-on this time. Okay?
I don't know! I blurted. What I do know is I’m jealous of the time Paul spends with her, Kathy, his wife! That remark came from my very soul. I know it's crazy, but it’s God's honest truth. I am also disgusted with me. At the same time, I feel taken for granted, and it’s demeaning. It’s all too idiotic. I hate being in this position! I was furious. My inability to control my tears only made me more angry.
I jumped up from the table and started pacing.
It’s no good to berate yourself at this point, Jenny. You took some chances, risked little, and had a lot of fun. The only problem is the two of you blundered right smack into the Law of Unintended Consequences.
The what? TJ looked quizzical.
The Law of Unintended Consequences, Guy repeated.
Meaning? Oh, I get it - we fell in love.
Jenny Matthews (single) and Paul Crowley (married) met by chance at O'Hare airport in Chicago. They were both traveling home to San Francisco.
A Small Flirtation is the poignant love story of two people, each torn by life, who had reached a point of seeming contentment. Buoyed by professional successes and personal friendships both strong and enduring, they had made peace with their lives. That is, until they met.

Story
India Taylor lived in a world of manicured lawns and neatly maintained calendars: a merry-go-round of Little League, piano lessons, and Cape Cod summer vacations. With four wonderful children, India believed in commitment and sacrifice, just as she believed in Doug, the man she married 17 years before. For India, this was the promise she made, the life she had chosen - not the award-winning career as a photojournalist she once had. It was a choice she had never truly regretted. Until she begins to regret it with all her heart.

Beautiful Story - Stellar Narration
If you enjoy audio books and a wonderful love story you will definitely want to listen to A Small Flirtation.
Beautifully written by California author, Buff Brazy Given, narrator Bryn Austin has masterfully brought the book to life in this stellar production of the book.
With subtle voice changes Austin will swiftly pick you up and carry you along for the ride — a roller coaster ride of charm, friendship, love, tension and pure joy.

The book moves quickly. The story is beautifully written and masterfully narrated. The production quality is perfect.
I am hoping for a sequel. I already miss my friends!
In the interest of full disclosure, I am related to this very talented author.
