For the Wicked (Fantasy Heights)
““You know, it’s funny,” she told him. “I thought living under the same roof meant we’d see each other once in a while.”
Still searching, Josh sounded absentminded and sarcastic at once. “Last night doesn’t count?”
She gave the back of his head a tolerant look. Last night most certainly did not count. She’d gotten home from the business office at ten minutes to ten. Josh had rolled in from work five minutes later. They sat down to watch the news and were out cold on the couch together in... twenty minutes flat.
Many of the nights she spent at Josh’s place had ended that way, lately.

Plus he was still edgy and prickly about the resurgence of Janos. Difficult circumstances, sure, but there was a hint of tension between them now that Amanda didn’t like.MoreLess
