The next morning, Evan sat in front of his computer in his
downstairs office, wondering how in the hell he was going
to write to Randi. It had always been so easy before, so
natural, that he never thought about what to say. It was
so much different now, and there was so much at stake.
His stomach rolled as he took another slug of his coffee.
He'd already swallowed some pills to make his head stop
banging. While the headache was slowly improving, the
coffee he was swilling wasn't helping his gut.
He popped a few antacids into his mouth and threw the

cause I didn't share the discovery with her immediately.
Putting himself in her place, he would have probably
been annoyed, too, but he would have gotten over it. He
would have eventually ended up being pretty damn happy
that the two women who fascinated him were one and the
same.Problem was, he hadn't been certain she'd feel the
same way.
I can never love a man like him . . .
