READ CHAPTER 1
“Don’t spill it, don’t spill it,” I muttered as I carried a bed tray upstairs yet again. Balancing a tray of brimming wine glasses without spilling a drop was not a problem, but with soup...a different story.
That day might have been different. Carefully, I pushed the bedroom door open with my boot, smiling triumphantly. My girlfriend dozed, not aware of the feat I’d finally accomplished.
Pausing, I took in Kara’s beauty. Even when sick, she was beautiful. Long dark hair fell around her slender shoulders as she sat propped up in bed surrounded by fluffy pillows. Her forehead was damp with fever sweat, and a white tissue wadded in her hand. Her nose shown red and raw from endless tissue contact, despite the ‘ultra-soft’ quality claimed on the box.
Walking closer, she opened those bright blue eyes—those eyes that had instantly attracted me to her the first day we met six years earlier.
