“Several restless nights and a dangerous game of racquetball with his weekly partner, Chuck Larson, had brought Sam to the decision. “You look like a bull too long out of the ring,” Chuck told him as they walked down the health-club hallway. “Nothing a little exercise won’t take care of,” Sam snapped back, walking onto the racquetball court. With a slam that jarred Chuck into action, Sam whipped the small rubber ball against the wall. And then he pounded it, again and again, venting his frustrat...ion in the echoing chamber. Maddie was there when he went to sleep, when he woke up, when he made important business decisions. He’d look up, and there she’d be, that damn hat on her head, her long unstylish dress floating around her legs. Or worse, stepping up out of the ocean … And her laughter, that was there, too, that soft throaty laugh that curled up inside of him, twisting around, making him wild. Whomp! He struck the ball harder, spinning it through the air. Sweat poured down his face and dark circles widened on his T-shirt, but he kept up at a frantic pace, purging himself until his lungs burned and he realized he was alone, crouched in the middle of the court, slamming the small rubber ball brutally against the wall.MoreLessRead More Read Less
