Rachel leapt up and pulled Liv in for a hug before they took their seats. She spotted Rachel and gave a breezy wave then flashed a smile at the host as she bypassed him. The click of her heels echoed along the pavement. With a shrug, Liv let the random incident slide from her thoughts. A butterfly tattoo? Before she could study the mark further, he released her and strode away, the crowd swallowing him from her view. She blinked rapidly and dropped her gaze from his cold, tan features to where his hand tightly held her arm. The same man who’d bumped her shot his arm out to steady her. A hard clip to her shoulder half spun her, and she stumble-stepped back. Weaving in and out to avoid a group of people to her left, she picked up her pace, ignoring the light bumps and jostles from the too-close pedestrians. Her spirits lifted as she threaded her way through the crowded Manhattan sidewalk and drew nearer to the café. The elevator dinged, and Liv stepped inside, on her way to meet her best friend, Rachel, for lunch. Keeping the news from Alex wasn’t her goal, and she would share it with him, just not yet. Secrets had the power to destroy, and Liv’s could very well detonate her marriage. Proofreading-Kim H., Proofreader, Red Adept EditingĬover Design-T.E.
