The sound made me jump and caused Jip to look up and eye me warily. “It’s turning into a bad night.” Tom voice made me more aware of the deepening shadows and their inky-black shapes on the stone floor. “Perhaps it would be [...]
Emanuel did not know that he had finally met The Woman until late after the party at his best friend’s house in Phoenix, Arizona.
