Chapter 63

• I catch myself smiling as I pass the newly polished mirror. And despite how exhausted I feel, despite looking like I’ve been up all night partying, I don’t think I’ve ever felt better. I pick up my discarded wine glass and slump into the couch, eyes on the photo of my family as I try to figure out if I want to rearrange the entire room.
• My phone vibrates beside me, and I smile as I see Karen’s message. Ahhhhhhhhhhhh! Finally! You won’t regret this.
• I put my feet up on the coffee table and stare at my reflection in the TV screen as I wonder what on earth is happening to me. I’ve never been prone to impulsiveness. Until Derek showed up, I don’t think I’d even broken the speed limit. Or broken the law.
