Tempting You
Language: en
A week before Christmas, I was fired. In the biting December wind, I ran to my best friend’s house, my vision blurred by hot tears. "Stella, my boss stole my concept and made me the scapegoat! I swear, I hope he gets stuck in holiday gridlock with explosive diarrhea!" Through my tears, I reached out and grabbed what I thought was my best friend’s waist. It felt remarkably solid, hard, and a bit broader than usual. I looked up, blinking through my tears. "Did you grow taller?" Stella’s voice floated from across the room. "You’re hugging the wrong person, Hazel. That’s my brother."
