Love means knowing when to hold someone hostage. Grinning,
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...
We can’t have sex at my parents’ place, I said, giving him a grin. You are so sex obsessed, he said, sighing dramatically. I blame myself for being that good.
Nearly bled to death today, Poppy says, balled up on the floor. I’d have died without accomplishing all of my dreams. What dreams? I want blue hair and a cooch tat. Don’t you think you might be aiming...
When is Tawny’s birthday? Cooper asked. In November. And yours was in January? Frowning at him, I didn’t answer. Cooper finally grinned at my irritation. I did my homework on you. Hoped your birthday...
My temper is supposedly legendary, though I doubt most people have heard of it. My younger sisters are known to run screaming when I’m on my last nerve. This response would be more impressive if they...
Oh, we’re all sluts. I’m liberated enough to cut me some notches on my bedpost, if you catch my drift? No, those girls are shallow. It’s why they have to work in a flock. They can’t go solo because th...

Sporting a black eye, Dylan met me in the front of Cooper’s office. I looked up at where guys were redoing the roof before returning my gaze to my new boss. As much as I appreciate this chance, I said...
