THE BAD DATERS
by Derek Murphy
Liam and Wendy assume their first date is doomed for failure. She’s forced into it by her over-protective sister and he, by a cursed past that dictates that he must continually make an effort even when he shouldn’t.
Will they find a connection that may lead to a second date? And would they even want to?
