Just twenty-four hours ago, I thought there was nothing worse than the fact that I might never see him again.
Now, it’s staring me in the face.
How the hell do I make him believe me?

A Little Malicious (Shepherd)
This job.
Thisfucking job.
Hectic mornings always feel like slamming back into reality from a fifty-foot drop, but this isn’t just reality now. It’s a concrete fucking floor.
I’m so livid I might burst a blood vessel.
If I could, I would fire every single person in this building.
As for Destiny—
No. Don’t think about her.
I can’t.
The second I dwell on what she’s done to me, I’m going to come unraveled, and all of Hannah’s protests that I need to keep quiet will be for nothing.
I bite my tongue and close my eyes.
Count to ten.
Resist the urge to hurl something through the massive windows, the only thing between my problems and a cold, indifferent city going about its business, blissfully detached from my shit show of a life.
Seattle looks damnably beautiful in the morning light, draped in silver and gold.
I hate it.
And Hannah Cho stands by silently.
Aside from suggesting in the strongest possible terms I should keep my yap shut, she hasn’t said a word.
I glance at her and try not to yell at the video playing on her tablet.
It’s déjà vu all over again.
The same thing we went through with Vanessa.
The same bullshit we were trying to stop.
But that was child’s play compared to this.
I never fucked Vanessa Dumas, for one.
But Destiny? That little hellcat got under my skin and made me forget the rules.
Now, I’m paying the price for my little sin trip to Eden.
I’mthe only one to blame.
