Five Out of Ten (Nothing Less Than Herself)

By Tom Davies

Sydney likes things she can understand: clear plans, honest answers, and friendships that stay where they belong.

Mark is becoming harder to categorize.

Lunches turn into late-night texts. Jokes start sounding like invitations. And when Mark finally asks Sydney on a real date, one misunderstanding leaves him waiting outside her dark condo while she's somewhere else entirely.

What follows is messier than either of them expected-hurt feelings, bad timing, other relationships, and an old wound Sydney never realized was still making decisions for her.

Five Out of Ten is a warm, funny romance about two people learning that sometimes being clear is the hardest part of showing up.
