As Willow settled back into her seat in the cab, she thought what it might have been like tonight, between her and Daniel, if she hadn’t stopped him. If Chloe hadn’t come to her, if Sam hadn’t been standing in her flat today . . . then it would have been the most perfect moment that Willow could have imagined. But the truth was never that simple between Willow and Daniel; yes, they had become friends because he lived next door and had a penchant for mooching a drink off her in the afternoon. But they had stayed friends after they had both moved on from that address for one reason.

After all, it was partly Daniel’s fault that Sam had thrown Willow out and told her never to come back.

Because, after all, it was Daniel whom Sam had found Willow in bed with one gray, wet afternoon.

Willow had known that it was just a bit of reckless fun for him from the moment that Daniel had pulled her a little closer to him while they were twirling around her living room, drunkenly dancing to the Greatest Hits of Doris Day album that Daniel had found in Sam’s CD collection. She had known it when, a little bleary-eyed and rebellious, he mused aloud about what it would be like to kiss Willow Briars.

It had felt like he’d enveloped her with his kisses, his clothed body covering her nakedness, his mouth covering her face and neck, shoulders and breasts as he pulled away his own clothes, groaning with pleasure when he pressed his own naked skin against her hers.

“Like a cloud,” he whispered, moving her thighs apart with one palm.

It was then that Sam walked in. Willow remembered him standing there like a still from a black-and-white film. It had been a black-and-white day, rain pelting down remorselessly, electric lights on in the morning, when Daniel knocked on her door at midday wearing a white shirt and a five-o’clock shadow. He’d been carrying a bottle of gin. He’d been bored.
