    Sinclair took a cup of coffee on the countertop and walked over to the large glass windows that were extended to the ceiling. Sipping his coffee, he stared out across the city’s view in front of him, feeling grim despite the magnificent view laid out in front of him. His morning had always been like this.

She took a seat at a row of tables and not the one she and Liezel usually occupied. “What can I get you today? The usual?” Annika approached her table, a warm smile spread across her face. “No. I want a Tortellini pesto with few onions and extra tomatoes, a tuna melt, and a chicken Caesar wrap with extra parmesan cheese.” She returned the young waitress’s smile.“So this is where you usually eat.” She heard someone speak but didn’t bother checking where the voice cam

    A visible stream of light cascaded through the curtains, waking Una from her dreamless sleep. Her eyes fluttered open. Sprawled across her bed in her pajamas, she huffed at how her hip and shoulder felt stiff from lying in the same position. When the images from last night flooded into her mind, she gasped. She rolled over and heaved. Her hands pressed to her suddenly warm cheeks, and she sat up straight. Her chest started to throb soun

Adam Collin, however, was an ex-US Army veteran who served the country for seven years and an all-around terrible person, bad-tempered, overly sensitive, and constantly winded up in fights. It was these qualities why Adam Collin was currently hanging
