Wildest Dreams (Forbidden Love, #2)

by L.J. Shen

“I feel so bad for Grav,” I groaned. “She has a clueless mom and a father she’s never met because he’s too much of an asshole to care about her.” The words rushed out of me. “She’s never going to have anyone to fall back on if I don’t pull myself together.” Thick silence came from the other end of the line before Kieran spoke. “You need a drink.” “No shit,” I scoffed. “No, like, you need to restart your brain. You are obviously going through a small panic attack.” “I knew it,” I cried out. “My skin is breaking out in hives. What do I do, Kieran? I’m five seconds from taking you up on your fake-marriage offer I’m so stressed.” “First of all, thank you,” he said sarcastically. “Second, there’s a bar not far from your new building. The Alchemist. They make the best cocktails. Listen to me carefully now, Dyl. I want you to go there, order yourself the Roku Koori Negroni with a piece of carrot cake, meditate for a few minutes, and think about what you want to do with your life. Nothing is off the table. Don’t be practical. Be passionate. Even if you think it’s too late. Even if you think it’s too hard. Then call me and let me know what it is, okay?” “Okay,” I panted. “Okay.”
