“You were right.” He rolled out his neck and massaged the side that was to me, like he was trying to work a kink out of it. “The new music is shit.” 

“I didn’t say it was shit.”

“It was heavily implied.”

“It’s just one opinion!” 

A woman sitting in front of us turned around and shot me an evil glare. The performance hadn’t even started yet so I ignored her. 

“Why do you even care what I think?”

“For some reason, your opinion matters to me,” he said under his breath. 

Oh. Okay. This is where honesty gets you. Time for a truth bomb, I guess. “I only said it because I know you’re capable of so much more.”

Our eyes met and I counted my heartbeats. One heartbeat. Two heartbeats. Three heartbeats. Four. “I feel the same about you,” he said finally.

One skipped heartbeat and we were off to the races. I stared at him for a moment before facing forward with my pulse racing and my heart beating triple time. 

Pull yourself together, Cleo. He was talking about art, nothing more. 

We were here to support Annika, so I shoved all thoughts of Gabriel out of my head and focused on the stage as the first eerie notes played. 

The set looked like a dystopian version of New York City with buildings reduced to rubble and dancers dressed in torn rags sifting through the dumpsters and debris. 

Annika rose from the ashes in a diaphanous white dress with a crown of braids woven into her hair. She moved like liquid silk, so fluid and graceful that I was transfixed. 

Next to me, Gabriel looked awestruck. If he wasn’t already in love with Annika, I think tonight sealed the deal.

I love books! I have been reading for as long as I can remember. I was the kid with the flashlight under the covers reading until the wee hours. Books were my refuge. I was delighted to discover tree climbing. I would take a book and climb to the top of a Mimosa tree and read for hours...and of course ignore my mother calling for me to do chores. I was committed to reading all of the Nancy Drew stories. Ned was my first book boyfriend. When I was in my early teens I discovered Harlequin romances. I feel in love and it changed my life. I was in love with Love 💕 That’s something for a girl who hadn’t been kissed yet. When I read “he thrust his throbbing member into her womanhood” I was lost to discovering more about this particular brand of romance. But I don’t just enjoy romance reads. My father-in-law introduced me to the high fantasy genre and I loved it. When I bought my first Nook the world of books really took me by surprise. I was enthralled with all the available genres and to my delight I discovered erotica. In most cases, I was with family on visits to bookstores and you don’t peruse those even if they carried them. Oh the shame of it! ;) Thanks to Nancy Drew I still enjoy mysteries along with romance, fantasy, erotica, paranormal, steampunk, thrillers, and well, most anything except a horror of a horror. My favorite might be romance suspense but it’s hard for me to pick just one. I had a serious health issue a few years ago and was forced to quite working after building a career I could be proud of. It was devastating and depressing. I lost myself in books and now spend my days (and nights) reading. I am so appreciative of authors and the wonderful storytelling I’ve found in books. It takes me away from my troubles and introduces me into a world like no other. I love books!
