Why don\u2019t you get Anne to give you a hand with the ad?\u2019<\/p>\n Sucked into the vortex of her daughter\u2019s enthusiasm, Jessie had agreed before she could talk herself out of it.<\/p>\n \u2018So, what have you got so far?\u2019 Anne had asked over margaritas in Spike\u2019s Bar.<\/p>\n \u2018Newly single brunette, slim, attractive, early forties, non-smoker, good sense of humour, would like to meet man thirties\/forties for friendship and maybe more,\u2019 Jessie read aloud.<\/p>\n Anne pretended to fall asleep and Jessie slapped her arm.<\/p>\n \u2018Bit dull, sweetie!\u2019 Anne said with a smile. \u2018For starters, you should put early thirties. Everyone knocks a few years off. And do you really want to say slim? It\u2019s practically shorthand for flat-chested and you\u2019re not. How about \u201cgreat figure\u201d instead?\u2019<\/p>\n \u2018That\u2019s a bit conceited, isn\u2019t it?\u2019<\/p>\n Anne threw her a look. \u2018It\u2019s an advert, Jessie. You\u2019re meant to be selling yourself.\u2019<\/p>\n \u2018Blimey! I\u2019ll just get some fishnets and a red light, shall I?\u2019<\/p>\n \u2018You know what I mean. You should put something in there about being outgoing. That usually leads to some interesting propositions.\u2019<\/p>\n \u2018But I\u2019m not outgoing,\u2019 Jessie said.<\/p>\n \u2018For goodness\u2019 sake, outgoing just means you\u2019re up for a bit of fun. I\u2019m not suggesting for a moment that you put \u201copen-minded\u201d. Now that would lead to some replies that would make your hair stand on end. And obviously your WLTM has to be a man in his late twenties or early thirties.\u2019<\/p>\n \u2018Has to be? This is my advert, remember? Not yours!\u2019<\/p>\n Anne smirked. \u2018So you\u2019d prefer \u201cRecently dumped flat-chested brunette, early forties, lives life with the handbrake on, would like to meet man forties\/fifties for visits to the library\u201d?\u2019<\/p>\n \u2018I\u2019d prefer not to be doing it at all.\u2019<\/p>\n Anne squeezed her hand. \u2018I know, sweetie. And you can stick another pin in your effigy of William when you get home but right now we need to get you back out there before life passes you by.\u2019<\/p>\n ABOUT ELLIE HOLMES<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Ellie Holmes writes commercial women\u2019s fiction and romantic suspense.
