Lotus: Second Chance Love with Romantic Suspense

by Jennifer Hartmann

Gabe ordered me new clothes all the way from the Amazon, and they fit remarkably well. And they arrived much quicker than one would anticipate for such lengthy travel.

awwww oliver :')

“Do you like music?” “I’m not accustomed to it. Perhaps…” The rate of my heart increases with an unexpected request that lands on the tip of my tongue. “Perhaps you can introduce me to your favorite music.”

“I enjoy your smile as well. It makes me want to smile more.” Charming. One-hundred-percent charming.

I suppose I could send her an electronic message on the cellular device Gabe purchased for me, but I’ve been struggling to fully comprehend it. There are far too many icons. Gabe added a harrowing assortment of colorful bubbles to the device and told me they were called apps. Software applications, I discovered. All of them provide different functions—most for entertainment, like Bookface…which has nothing to do with books.

She is fierce. She is goofy. She is beautiful. She is Syd.

“Yes. Cheers.” He forces a smile as we clink our glasses together, then takes a big sip. He spits it right back out into the glass. “You don’t like it?” I ask, a laugh slipping through. Oliver glances up at me with wide eyes. “I think the beverage has been tampered with. We should alert the others.”

LOL

“God, who hurt you, Sydney?” “You did!” I shriek, unplanned and untethered, my hysteria bubbling over. “Something inside of me fucking died the day I lost you!”

Bitch he was kidnapped!!! WDYMMMM

My mother. My beautiful mother. My God, how she must have missed me. She’ll never know that I’m okay. She’ll never, ever know.

“Sydney and I are having intimate relations now, so I’ll have to respectfully decline your offer of residency. It was much appreciated, though.”

LMAO
