Prologue

"Hey, Morgan!"

Afternoon sunlight bounced off the cars in the high school parking lot as I turned to face my best friend, Bree Warren. I knew that she was eager to catch up with me-I'd been kind of cranky and out of sorts all week-but at the moment I was in a huge hurry. I leaned against the driver's side of my huge '71 Plymouth Valiant, which I'd nicknamed "Das Boot."

"What's up, Bree?"

Bree ran up and stopped a few feet away from me, gasping for breath. "I just wanted to sort of check in, see how you were doing today."

I nodded. "Well, I heard from Hunter last night. I'm supposed to go to his house now."

Her eyes widened in comprehension. "Oh.So Hunter's back."

"Apparently so." Hunter Niall, my boyfriend of two months-was it possible it had been only that long? I couldn't imagine life without him. I loved him with all my heart and soul and was fairly certain that he was mymùirn 2

"Are you nervous?" Bree looked at me sympathetically.

"A little." I sighed. All the time Hunter had been gone, we'd had only one conversation. Worried, I had scried for him and found him with another woman. Not kissing or anything romantic-thank the Goddess for that-but locked in a passionate conversation. I wasn't sure what to make of the whole thing. I was afraid to think too hard about it.

"I'm sure it'll be okay," she said confidently. "Hunter loves you, Morgan. You can see it in his eyes when he looks at you. You have nothing to worry about."

I looked up at Bree, feeling a little comforted. "Thanks. I just love him so much. . . . Well, you know how I feel."

She nodded. "I don't want to keep you, then." She smoothed down a lock of shiny dark hair and gave me a concerned frown. "Listen, I hope everything's okay. I know you've been worried. Let me know if you need to talk, all right?"

"All right." I smiled. It seemed like Bree had gotten even more beautiful, more caring, more empathetic since she had fallen in love with my other best friend, Robbie Gurevitch. Not that she'd been totally selfish before-she just seemed warmer now, more open.

"See you tomorrow."

"'Bye."

Bree headed back toward the school and Robbie, and I climbed into Das Boot and swung out of the parking lot. It was mid-March, and the sidewalks were still covered with glistening, melting snow. I tried to calm my nerves as I drove toward Hunter's rented house on the other side of town. But the truth was, I was very afraid. Afraid of what Hunter would tell me. Afraid that I wouldn't want to hear it.

After I arrived, I sat in Hunter's driveway for a few minutes with the car running, trying to collect my thoughts.

On the one hand, this was Hunter.Hunter, whom I loved and had missed terribly-I couldn't wait to see him.
