The car door opens and my heart starts to beat hard and fast as he gets in next to me, the warm hint of clove and bergamot soothing my skin.
“You know, Hellie,” Cal says. “Somewhere between the moment you walked into the room and our eyes met I think I might have fallen in love with you.”
“Me, too,” I whisper. “I think I’ve fallen in love with you, too.”
We look at each other and that heat and bone deep truth of the connection, of love, blooms.
“You’d be smarter to go with Mercer. He’d make sure you’re never found. If we go together, they’ll look for you and me, not just you.”

She sets off a vibrating edge, a sliver of excitement. The air sings when she’s near.
I can use that.
And I’m going to.
Just not yet.
Because the wait brings the pitch up to a sweeter level.
I’m also busy watching a dead man walking.
Right now, the poison’s destroyed his liver and kidneys, unraveling his DNA. He’s dead. It just hasn’t come full circle. Even if he was rushed to a hospital, he’d still end up dying.
