Diesel's laughter was deep and rumbling.
 
 "Exactly."
 
 I smiled, feeling like I was finally letting my guard down.

 I felt like I belonged.
 
 The only other time I'd felt like that was...
 
 Was with a woman I was never going to see ever again.
 
 Not only was she several hundreds of miles away, she was married.
