Portia used to be a rock star. Kind of. Now she mostly teaches piano lessons. And somehow she let her mother talk her into attending a speed dating event. Bad plan. Just when Portia’s face is about to freeze into a fake smile for all eternity, Birdie walks up to the bar during a break. Birdie is pretty, fascinating, and—sadly for Portia—attracted to the nerdy-cute guy at a nearby table. But when Birdie and her new crush make a break for it, they invite Portia to join them. Is Portia too bi for this much simultaneous flirting? Only one way to find out. THE SPEED DATING ESCAPE is a kisses-only Bi4Bi4Pan FFM first date short story with middle-aged main characters, a silly storytelling game where everybody wins, and a polyamorous Happy for Now ending with big crush energy.
