Excerpts

“His walk was brisk. I was almost jogging to keep up with him. He pressed a button that opened a set of double steel doors. He flipped on the lights, revealing a room that looked like a huge warehouse. I jogged again, staying close behind him. He came to an abrupt stop in front of three long shelves that towered from floor to ceiling. My whole body tingled, and my knees weakened seeing Julia Stone handwritten on the side of three crates on the middle shelf. A trance came over me.”

“Jack patted Roxy’s head. ’Adam never forgot you. For some reason, he always felt that you would come looking for him. I tried telling him he knew you for a week. He replenished his artwork and headed off to Paris. Julia, you’re smart and beautiful. I understand why Adam never forgot you.’”
