Outdrawn

Sage challenged. She finally held my gaze. It wasn’t fair that she was even more beautiful now than she was in college.

Her skin was a perfect shade of deep brown, her round eyes daring enough to be considered siren-like and deadly.

She looked at me now, those dark brown eyes confident. I didn’t know why they set a spark in my belly,

When I looked at Harry, he’s already looking at me. He knew I was the world’s most terrible team player.

Ba ha ha own that shit girl!

I didn't come out here to win over a woman and a duck, but I was well on my way to doing so.

Classic.

Lots of things made me happy: art, perfectly seasoned rice, bike rides downtown, and now, apparently, making Sage smile because of something silly.

Noah tasted like bubblegum chapstick and felt like a summer evening

swoon!!
