Abstract
This high-interest, low-vocabulary novella is intended for adult basic education (ABE) and English as a Second Language (ESL) readers. One evening, Ivy goes out for dinner and meets Mark. At thirty, Ivy longs for her first real boyfriend. Her wish soon gets her into trouble. But Mark has stepped into trouble, too. He has never known a woman like Ivy-and he never will again. Ivy makes sure of that.
