“Thank you,” I hear him whisper and I snuggle in close, desperate not to break away from him yet.
“For what?” I need to hear him say it.
“For helping me push her out of my memories.” He tugs on my hair and I lift my head, meeting his gaze. “It worked.”
I smile lazily, suddenly overcome with exhaustion. “Really?”
“Yeah.” He squeezes my butt with his other hand. “I need to get up for a minute. Where’s your bathroom?”
I tell him and watch as he climbs off the bed, his naked body so beautiful, my chest aches. He goes to the bathroom, disposes the condom and is slipping back into my bed within seconds. I pull the covers over us and rest my head on his shoulder, my arm slung across his stomach. “You’re staying?”
“Yeah.”
He doesn’t say anything else and neither do I. I can’t. I’m so tired, and it feels so good to fall asleep in Drew’s arms. So right. I sleep like the dead, like I did last night when I was also in his arms.
Drew Callahan is as addicting as any sleeping pill.
When I wake up in the morning…
He’s gone.

A new week, a new life
Fable
Dear Fable,
My worst enemy is behind me because of you.
And there’s still a lot left for me to explain.
Right now, all I can think about is you.
So many things in my life confuse me and…
Hurt me—except you.
Maybe we can be together again someday.
All I really want is you, but I can’t do this now.
Losing you will be the hardest thing I’ve dealt with yet.
Loving you might be a mistake. Drawing you into my world will
Only hurt you. And I refuse to do that.
Will you ever forgive me?
