Plight: second chance contemporary romantic comedy romance book

Plight 

[plahyt]

Noun: a difficult, or otherwise unfortunate situation.

Verb: pledge or solemnly promise. Be engaged to be married.

Elliot Parker was my best friend. When we were eight years old, he gave me a cheese ring, pushed it onto my finger, and asked me to marry him. 

I ate the cheese ring. 

I also said, “Yes” but that we’d have to wait until we were thirty years old.

Two years later, we both nearly drowned. 

Four years after that, he moved away and I never saw him again. 

I turned thirty last week, and now Elliot is calling in our promise. 

Seriously, he is insane if he thinks that an out-of-the-blue private Facebook message stipulating the binding law of an oral contractual agreement is going to seal our twenty-two-year ridiculous engagement. Insane.

I wonder if he really does look like his profile picture though.
