The Deception
“I sink deeper into the water, letting the bubbles cover my chest. I know I have the biggest, silliest, dreamiest expression on my face.
Turning the faucet off with my toes, I sigh.
I can’t believe what we did, much less what I shared. Groaning, I let my head fall into my hands. I just had to mention Jared.

My best friend, Elle, is always after me to be more confident. She’s the one who kept pushing me not to give up on Roman. To go after him, even when he kept... throwing roadblocks up. Looking back, I think the only reason I did forgive him and try again is that he would give me glimpses of the real him. A man so considerate and thoughtful that my toes curls just remembering the day I walked in and he’d ever so gruffly pointed out the chair I could sit in.

He had merely nodded before turning his attention back to a book, studying the contents with a ferocious scowl.MoreLess
