Bridget and I conclude breakfast a few minutes before noon. The cafe owners know we’re regulars so no one complains about the amount of time we spend here. Going out now, I feel really good. Way better than I was feeling this morning. Bridget stops in front of my car and gives a wolf whistle. I rol
Tieran stands there with an unreadable look on his face and I stand, feeling something hot and violent going through my veins. It’s violent and at the same time it’s powerfully sad and I can't think. I can’t see anything but the shame that is filling me up so thoroughly.Malachi just kissed me, but

I send the maid off and am left with Malachi’s friend. Someone who won’t stop wearing a hard look on his face and the tight-lipped glower he’s directing at me. I don’t particularly care about the frown, but I'm more concerned about the fact that he’s a friend of Malachi’s.I can’t claim to know all
