I know how much of an addict I can be.

But I also know one small taste of the past will be enough to help me through this night.

One release so powerful that I can cling to it when the time comes for our engagement to be announced.

Just for fun, I remind myself.

Just this once...

Fuck it.

What’s a girl to do when something so utterly tempting is just waiting there, begging for her to reach out and take it?

“I have to go.”

Ivy’s eyes snap to mine. “Now? But...”

She nudges her chin toward the house, and I glance over to see Gabriel Dane walking our direction.

Whatever. She acts like she doesn’t want to see him, but I know better. Ivy can’t help herself when it comes to Gabe.

Knowing she can take care of herself when it comes to him, I step away.

Not seeing Ezra, my brows tug together until my attention is caught by a beautiful brunette in an ombré gown descending quickly down the steps toward me.

Tanner is following after her, and I laugh to think his date finally figured out he’s an asshole and made the smart decision to run.

I take the first step as she moves past me, Tanner not even sparing me a glance as he chases her down.

Turning my head to watch them both approach the bar, I turn back and look up to see a man who stops me in my tracks.

There, just at the top of the stairs, stands Ezra.

I no longer have to be close enough to the twins to see the mark that distinguishes them from each other.

My heart somehow knows how to tell them apart.

I care about both of them, but Ezra...
