His Handyman Skills by Lizzy West

Leo
Ever since my wife passed away five years ago, I’ve mostly kept to myself.
Every night, I stop at Lucky’s for a meal and conversation.
When I meet Shayla, she reawakens something inside me.
It may not be right, but I want – no, I need – to have her.

Shayla
I thought going away to college would make my life easier.
Instead, it’s just more of the same – only my parents have been replaced by my slob of a roommate.
Meeting Leo is an escape from all of that stress.
But can he really be as perfect as he appears?
