Second Chance Hero
“Lil watched him grab the phone and nearly laughed. How pathetic was it that she caught him staring at her chest and it turned her on. How ridiculous that his bit of fear made her feel warm in all the right places.
Crazy, crazy Lil. She watched his face fall and knew she didn’t want to know what the call was.
No. No. No.
“Lil.” She must’ve said the words. She shook her head. “No.”
David looked defeated as he spoke. “They’ve found Solidad Hernandez. She’s dead, Lil. I’m so sorry.”
He tried to g...rab her hand, but she pulled away. Nearly jumped from the couch, crossed the room and slammed the bedroom door. She needed to be alone. She needed….
“Come on Lil. Let me in.”
Her legs quit working. They just quit. She didn’t know why or how or even what she felt as she sank to the floor on the other side of the door and willed him away. She couldn’t take him now. She just couldn’t.
“Go away David. I need some time alone. That’s all.”
Her breath was coming fast, taking over, like she’d run a marathon instead of the few steps across his apartment.MoreLess
