There just weren’t enough hours in the day. Before they knew it, morning had gone to evening, and they found themselves back on the living room couch with the news playing quietly on the television. From what they’d seen so far, the police had upgraded the man-hunt from California to the entire country. Her stomach had dropped at that tidbit of information. There were people scouring the entire country for them. While a part of her was relieved that no one had tracked them down, she couldn’t help but hurt for her family, and how worried she knew they had to be.

Her mother was surely in pieces, and she had no doubt her sisters had already planned Remy’s slow, painful death, all in sordid detail, while mapping out all the different places they’d go to scatter his limbs once they got their hands on him.

For now, however, it was just them. They’d agreed not to talk about the case for an entire hour, just to rejuvenate their senses, and they needed that break. There was only so many times a person could say the words murder, poisoned, and killer in one day before they finally hit their emotional wall. Remy and Violet had definitely hit that wall, hours ago.

She looked across the couch at him from where she was cleaning his wound. The baggy sweatpants had been a perfect choice, since it was easy to roll them all the way up Remy’s thigh, completely eliminating any need for him to take them off.

Was that the best she had? She never had a problem speaking to men she was attracted to before, but something about Remy made ‘smooth’ almost impossible for her.

Something washed across Remy’s face, something that was profound with a defenselessness she’d never seen. While continuing to stare at her hand, cleaning his wound, he frowned.

“We kissed?” he asked.

Violet’s head shot up. Against all of her will, her heart broke a little. “Of course you don’t remember.” He’d been so high on those pills. Her eyes searched his for a moment before looking back down at his wound with a small scoff. She felt like an idiot.

Remy finally looked up to her face, and his eyes searched every dip and curve. Her big eyes, long lashes—like half-moons resting against her cheekbones and mocha skin--perfectly offset by full, pink lips. His stomach curled in knots as he became riveted
