“I crack an eyelid. Oh joy, Sadie, Aunt Delores’s real niece, is here. Fabulous. I raise my head just enough to pull the pillow from under it and yank it over my eyes. I whisper, “Go away.” “Time to get up, Sleepyhead. Aunt Delores tells me you’re going to town later. I need a ride.” I wave her out the door. “Later doesn’t mean to wake my ass up at unreasonable hours of the day.” “Unreasonable? It’s ten-thirty.” I sit bolt upright. “Ten-thirty?” Damn Buck. I left his ass downstairs last night, b...ut he didn’t leave my mind all night long. Thoughts of him—of us together—kept me awake until almost dawn. Shit. I’m supposed to meet the lady at the temp agency in less than an hour. And why do I have to cart Sadie around anyway? Actually, Sadie’s not that bad. She’s always treated me like I’m real family, and not just an honorary niece, who was taken in for a few months after my world shattered, while I finished high school and waited to start college. Of course, I decided to blow this podunk town and see the world, knowing I’d never leave behind my past as long as I lived here.MoreLessRead More Read Less
