“Gabriel Toscano. Damn. Even his name was sexy.”

“Gabriel?” I said.“Yeah?” His voice was breathless.“Kiss me.”

“Kendra was on Gabriel like a predator on a slab of meat.”

“Kissing Gabriel was like an exotic vacation.Kissing Justing was like coming home again.I wanted this.”

“Were Gabriel and I going to fall in love? Be together forever? Live our lives happily as soul mates? Who the hell knew something like that? Isure didn’t. I can’t see the future.All I knew was that I would love finding out.”

“He had a matching bandage on his head. We looked like two idiots who’d decided to have a head-butting competition”

“Yellow police tape stretched across the motel room door. I stood beside it, waiting for Mr. Stick-Up-His-Butt to finish up in the office.”
