[Second Helpings 01] • Hot Apple Pie

**Nadia** ****Being dumped right before the holidays is the worst. The last thing I wanted to do was head off to a big family dinner where I could hear all about why I was suddenly single. My mom wasn't taking no for an answer.  The last person I expected to see was the one man I'd always wanted, the one who'd never given me a second look. But there he was, eyes smiling with promise, right in front of me.

Could this be happening? God, I hope so.

I was at loose ends, and figured why not? When my grandmother invited me to a Thanksgiving family dinner with her old friend, I was hoping to see my first love. And then, there she was, arms full of pie, right in front of me. 

Pie everywhere and the sexiest woman I've ever met? Break out the whipped cream.
