PROLOGUE

NEARLY ONE YEAR AGO…

August

Laurence

Have you ever done something bad?

Ana

I can’t tell if you’re trying to flirt with me or scare me into never using Eros again.

Laurence

And if it’s the first?

Ana

Well, if I have done something bad, then I’m not about to disclose it in a chat that some random IT guy could read when he’s bored.

Laurence

And if it’s the second option?

Ana

Then I have a feeling we’re not talking about traffic violations or borrowing my sister’s favorite sweater and shrinking it by accident.

Laurence

Most definitely not.

Ana

Good to know.

Ana

Then as your unofficial legal counsel, I need to advise you against continuing this conversation.

Laurence

Are you a lawyer?

Ana

After all the dramatized detective shows I’ve seen, I could run a law firm.

Laurence

Straight into the ground?

Ana

I’m wounded that you think so little of me. Have a little faith.

Laurence
