“Oh my God, you are so bloody damn annoying!” she screamed at me. I laughed, getting up out of my chair and leaning over to kiss her.
Sitting back in my chair, I took my drink and glanced over the city. “I would have liked kiwi, but mango is good too.”
She was too damn cute.
“Once again, Liam…we won.”

FOUR YEARS LATER
LIAM
DAY 1

“If we have to do another one of these damn police dinners next year I’m going to lose my mind,” I grumbled, pulling off my tie as the driver pulled away from the hotel. Melody rested her head against my arm but didn’t reply.
“Mel. Melody?”
“Huh?” She sat up, looking up at me. She had been out of it for days now.
“Are you all right?” I reached over, brushing her hair over to the side.
“Yeah, just tired.” She nodded, moving to sit back in her seat.
“I didn’t say stop leaning on me.” I frowned and she rolled her eyes at me.
“I’m going to—” I saw the headlights coming right behind her head.
“MELODY!” I screamed but before she or I or even our driver could do anything, the glass around us exploded and she flew toward me as we tossed and turned.
Metal crunched all around us…then darkness.

“Liam?” I heard his voice.
“Declan?” I looked over to where he sat at my bedside, looking an absolute mess. “You look like shit.”
He didn’t say anything back, just nodded his head.
“What is it and what the hell did that doctor give me? I feel like I have cotton mouth.” I stretched out my mouth, sticking out my tongue.
“A mild sedative”
“Why?” I asked angrily…I couldn’t remember anything.
“You were ready to strangle the doctor.”
I shrugged at that.
“Wouldn’t be the first time. Oh—” I groaned as I pushed myself up and he moved to help. “I got it. How bad are my wounds?”
