I was expecting a lot of reactions from Josephine after making that smartass comment. A drink to be thrown in my face. A swat across my wrist and curse words hurled my way. But that gasp? It’s a total surprise. I try not to react to the sound, but it’s inevitable. The walls feel like they’re caving in. My mouth is dry. My body buzzes, excitement coursing through my veins like I’ve spent the night throwing back shots of vodka but drunk off her.
