“What?” I was either imagining things or I picked up a hint of distress in his voice.
“I’m done with this shit. I’m done with Karl fucking Vergoossen.”
“Shane.” A cold chill ran through my body as I heard a familiar voice.

Callan took a deep breath, his voice cracking as he struggled to speak. “She… Melanie, she…”

He looked me in the eyes, his brows furrowed and his breath heavy and ragged, before he finally blurted out, “She overdosed on sleeping pills.”
Love is lethal.
