Twelve days clean and counting…

Pulse thumping as the double-digit number echoed through my head, I knelt on the dirty floor, eyes affixed to the same mirror as the night I tried to commit suicidio, studying the woman who stared back. A woman who wasn’t as much of a stranger to me as she’d once been.

Eyes shining bright, my healing cheeks were now tinged with color, erasing the ghostly paleness that had washed out my bronzed complexion for far too long.

At thirty-four, I was no longer the proud beauty queen I’d been at eighteen, but the hope I’d felt that fateful night, the very one in which my entire world had been shattered within the space of only a few minutes, was returning.

And it was all because of James.

I had yet to understand my feelings for him, as strong and unyielding as they were, but I neither tried nor cared to decode them any longer.

Done with allowing the cynicism that plagued me to plant seeds of doubt in my head, I now embraced the potent magic that shimmered in the air between him and I, filling me with both hope and faith, two things I’d been missing for far too long.

Though I still lived in hell and wore shackles the devil himself had secured around my heart and soul, they grew weaker with each day that passed.

Before long, I’d burst free of the invisible restraints, and when I did, there would be no turning back.

Not ever.

“Yello!” Still jumpy whenever I was in or near the trap house, I jerked in place, nearly coming out of my skin when Jade bounded into the ramshackle room from behind me, a beaming smile on her gorgeous face. “I’ve got something for you.”

Brow climbing my forehead, I looked at her over my shoulder. “You do?”

“I do,” she answered in a singsong voice, hands hidden behind her back. “And you better like it too because I went through a whole mess of trouble to get it.”

Alarm bells started ringing. “What did you do?”

Lips thinned, she shrugged.

“Jade—”

“Oh my God,” she huffed, eyes narrowing. “Don’t take the mom tone with me.”

Standing, I turned to face her. Hands on my hips, I crossed the room, coming to a stop inches in front of her. “You have tres seconds to talk, or else I will—”

“Ground me?”

It was my turn to roll my eyes. “Smartass.”

Her smile returned, growing in size. “I’d rather my culo be smart than dumb, ya know.” Giggling to herself, she rocked back on her heels. “Now close your frickin’ eyes so I can give you your surprise.”

A smidgen of anxiety gripped me, holding on tight as I did as she asked.

“Well, holy crap. She listened,” she mumbled, putting her sass on full display. “Somebody alert the media because it’s a miracle.” The laugh that spilled past my lips was genuine. And it felt good. So damned good. “Now hold out your hands.”

Doing as she asked, I held them out, palms up. “Give it to me.” The excitement that flooded my veins went straight to my head, giving me a natural high like no other.
