    Summary

    There was always this undercurrent between them that now threatened to pull her under the waves. No restraint from his side and no inhibitions on hers. A countdown winded down on a bomb that could implode and wreck everything. But still, she let it tick.

    Until it went off.

    ”I didn’t know you knew how to ride like that …” His voice was deep and low as his eyes locked into hers. A double entendre that she immediately recognized as his fingertips gently brushed her thigh. “…horses, I meant.”

    Summary

    “You’re such a brat, you know that?” Frank teases. Mel shrugs and returns to her seat.

    “Maybe you elicit it,” she suggests, her tone sincere. His heart thuds in his chest like a bat out of hell. Maybe he does.

    Summary

    "I guess I’m not really used to thinking about options,” he admits, which feels like an unbelievably dumb thing for an adult—a father, a teacher, an ex-husband, an addict—to say out loud. “I just do the thing that seems like what you’re supposed to do."

    Leanne hums in the way that Frank has come to learn, two stints in rehab later, is therapist non-verbal speak for “you’ve said something very troubling and therefore fascinating. Prepare to learn about yourself.”
