She gulps until I swear I almost hear her. That’s weird. Nicole hates Daniel as much as she loathes me — if not more. Actually, she’s marked him as an enemy before I came along, so it’s weird to see her not spit her venom as usual.

“You might want to wipe that.” Dan rubs the side of his mouth with his thumb.
“What?” Nicole asks.

I whirl around and come face to face with those hypnotic eyes.
Levi King.
Just what I needed on this epic morning.

There’s this air of nonchalance about him. A fuck you to the entire world surrounding him. In full rebel mood, his tousled hair is all over the place, but still has that supermodel look written all over it.
