I learned long ago not to give a flying fuck what strangers thought about me. Hell, I only mildly care what my friends think. Life is too short to stress others’ opinions.
Your mom is a great cook, I said, enjoying the macaroni salad. Yeah, self taught. Trial and error. Can you cook? We usually didn’t have a kitchen in the motel. I can warm stuff up, but that’s it. Coop...
ZANE: Everyone has an ex they regret.
Cooper smiled. You feel weird yet? Pulling the trigger is easy, but the stuff afterwards will bother you. I’ll be honest, Cooper. If you wanted me to kill a kid or a woman, I wouldn’t be able to do it...
I expected Candy to pick a different rental house. The little yellow one always gets positive comments from broads. Instead, she chose the blocky, brick house. It’s the kind of house I’d have picked....
I have plans with my sisters on Fridays. What kind of plans? Shrugging, I stare at the frozen TV screen. The kind that don’t involve you. I don’t know what that means. Sounds wrong somehow for the wor...
Say you’re beautiful, I whispered, stroking her. I’m beautiful. Good, I murmured, kissing her jaw then moving south. Say it again.
Stepping closer, I wiped away a tear from her cheek. You’ll make a great mom. I guess we’re going to find out, she said, melting into my arms. I was on the pill. I can’t even do that part right. Takin...
We’re trying this again, I said, spreading my legs. You’ll never want me to stop. It’s addictive. Sure you can handle it? No, but I’m feeling fearless tonight. Cooper crawled towards me with that arro...
Cooper leaned back a little then reached out and tugged at my size too large pink Minnie Mouse sweatshirt. You really wanted to put an exclamation mark on the no sex thing, huh? Balking, I smacked his...
Cooper sat in the back booth, reading a book he clearly hated with a passion. Occasionally, he smacked the book onto the table then glared at it hatefully. Finally, he returned to reading.
Do you know one reason my parents have stayed married so long? I asked and Lark shook her head. They’re a team. If one has a problem, they both have a problem. No secrets, no holding back. They face e...
Do you want to sit with your boyfriend? Cooper asked with his gaze on Nick even as his fingers caressed the nape of my neck. Maybe, but first I’ll copy your stellar notes. Bitch. Asscrack. Nerd. Hotst...
Laughing behind my hand, I followed him out to his motorcycle. I like to think I’m hot enough that I don’t need to flirt well. Do you? Fortunately, I agree. In fact, this time when you walk in front o...
Life would never be easy for Winnie, but my job was to make her feel as safe as possible. Whether beating down a loud college idiot or keeping my mom states away, I’d do whatever necessary to protect...
Maddy showed up around eleven to drop off Scarlet and take me dress shopping. She used her mom skills to get me off the couch. Hey, pumpkin, I’ll get you a strawberry shake if you get up now, she whis...
My smile faded as we reached Ellsberg and I realized I would see Farah within minutes. Suddenly, I was terrified. We’ve been apart for a month, I said after Judd called Cooper to say we were nearly th...
SAWYER: God has other plans.
So what are you studying at school? I asked, watching the TV and not Cooper as he still played gently with a lock of my damp hair. Pre-law. Glancing at him, I frowned then forced myself to stop. You w...
When I entered, she sat up and focused on the bag in my hand. The chick at the store said it works better in the morning, but it might work tonight. I bought a few extra tests, just in case. Do you ne...
