“You mean we’re not exclusive?” I feign offense, even though internally the thought of her out with another guy makes me see red.
I’ve always been drawn to Mira, but this is torture. I feel like she’s reached right between my ribs and wrapped her delicate fingers around my lungs. Like if she wanted to, she could squeeze too hard and cut my breath off entirely.
“That’s it?” Nadia’s disbelieving voice is what I hear first. “Just like: incision, yank it out, and then snip?” “Yup.” I can hear the smile in Mira’s voice. “That’s it.” “Huh.” Nadia’s blonde curls bob with her head. “So, the next time those pencil pricks have something shitty to say to you, you can tell them in detail how you’ll castrate them.” What the… I get to the fence beside Nadia to see Mira disposing of what looks like… oh.

Mira hits me with a knowing grin as she stands and tosses her gloves into the same bucket as the poor horse’s family jewels. This woman is terrifying. “I’ll get you to help me next time, Nadia.” “Jesus Christ.” I drag a hand through my hair and shake my head. “What are you two hellions up to here?”

You don’t need to do this.” “I know. But I like watching your face when I try to guess what type of coffee you like. It’s worth the few bucks that cost me.”

It tastes like some sort of caramel cupcake blended into a coffee. It’s atrocious. But she bought it for me, and that makes me want to drink it.
“I’m going to drink this, but I’ll put you out of your misery. I take my coffee black.” “Was that so hard? Why didn’t you just tell me?” She shakes her head, looking amused.
