I focus on my drink. I won’t tell Colt that the sex isn’t so great – in fact I can’t even get off. “Pace, what’s new with you?” I ask. Colton curses under his breath, while Pace laughs at my obvious attempt at a topic change. “I’m trying to get Kylie pregnant,” he announces, proudly….

With you. Her reply takes several minutes to come through. Oh. We need to talk tomorrow when I’m sober. Okay. *** When I wake in the morning, it feels like a dead rat crawled down my throat and set up shop. I blink against the harsh light and curse at myself for drinking so much…

Now, none of this matters. An entire history wiped away because Collins doesn’t have the time to talk to me. He can’t even get through breakfast without running off to screw his supermodel girlfriend. He obviously doesn’t care, so why should I? I slam the book closed and hurl the stupid thing at the door,…

I follow Tatianna upstairs, intent on finishing our conversation. Her little stunt with the banana tells me she thinks we’re coming up here to sweep everything under the rug. When we enter our bedroom, I close and lock the door. She turns to me, smiling, not at all in tune with how frustrated I am….

“Don’t come over here,” she warns. What the hell? “Mia?” “I’m serious, Collins.” She’s not the strongest swimmer, and when I see her head dip under the water, I wrap her in my arms and pull her up, securing the noodle around her. “Come here. I’ve got you.” “You can’t see me like this.” I…

“Excuse me,” I say, eyeing the roast beef. “Would you guys mind if I made myself a sandwich?” They shrug and nod, so I step in further and help myself to bread, open the fridge to see what sort of fixings they have. When I finish making the sandwich I halve it and put it…

I’m so flustered, and in such a haze that even with the harsh separation, I still gaze at him. His eyes match my lust and my need. I search his face looking for anything, any reason we can’t be together. Because it feels so perfect, him and me. I can see it in his eyes,…

“No.” I chuckle. “Mia Monroe.” It takes him only a second. “No shit?” “Yeah.” We each wait silently on the phone. He knew how close we were growing up. Which means he knows how much she meant to me. “Explain,” he says, finally. “What’s she been up to all this time? How does she look?…
