Instead of going back to what I’d been writing, I opened a new document. I couldn’t concentrate on anything other than the man beside me, so I decided to let him be my muse.

The thing I understood least about him was his reaction to happily-ever-after endings the day we ran through Central Park. From everything I’d seen, Montano was every woman’s fantasy of the perfect man. He was extraordinarily good-looking, with a ripped body, and had a great sense of humor. He was smart, charming, flirtatious, and had not only promised to protect me, but he’d followed through when I went into the kitchen for a glass of water, saw a bear staring at me through the glass door, and screamed.

He’d gallantly offered to let me sleep with him, and while I would love to feel his naked body next to mine, the chivalrous way he put on sweatpants and lay on top of the covers made me swoon.

While all of that should be enough to make any woman throw herself at him, that he’d pushed me up against the wall, kissed me breathless, and in a growly voice, told me he’d be the one to take care of whatever I needed, made my panties melt.

So what was the deal with him not believing in the fairy-tale ending? It would be one thing if he was skeptical or questioning, but his reaction had been more than that. He could see the beginning and middle of the love story, but couldn’t fathom the ending.

Was it my sister’s doing that Montano no longer believed loved could last? Something told me there had been a time in his life when he had.

My hands gripped the steering wheel hard when I turned onto the road I hoped would lead me to the person who could give me answers about my sister—my dead twin sister.

Was it my best opening line ever? Definitely not. But like I’d told Montano earlier, the book I was writing presently wasn’t the kind I normally wrote. This was a different book than the one I’d been talking about at the time, but as my fingers flew on the keyboard, I knew this was the one I had to write.
