Remembered By Moonlight
“Something she’d never done until recently. Until her body began funneling energy into a new, growing life.
The desire to roll back into the nesting covers to indulge her need for rest ended when she heard Max on the phone in the other room. Smiling, she closed her eyes and listened for a moment, not able to hear his words yet comforted nonetheless. That low, rumbling tone seemed to release a tranquilizing hormone telling her all was well.
She’d always loved the sound of his voice, even ...when they were at odds. Words, so difficult to pry from Jimmy Legere’s stoic enforcer, had begun in an awkward trickle that widened into a teasing stream. Clever, baiting, simmering with ambiguity. But only with her. His quirky comments had bemused her . . . I could smell your perfume from River Road . . . Strange, impossible observations that she came to understand as truth when she realized at last what Max Savoie really was.
For all their differences, they were very much the same.MoreLess
