“Go!” Danny declared before I licked the salt from the back of my hand and downed another shot of tequila. The sourness of the lime made me shudder, and Danny laughed.

“I’ll never get used to that!” I grumbled as I washed the bitterness away with a gulp of vodka cranberry.

It was eighties night in the club, and I had danced until my legs could no longer keep me upright and sang along to each and every song until my throat was hoarse. However, when Bon Jovi’s Living on a Prayer began to play, Danny grinned at me, fisted the air and hauled me back to the dancefloor.

“Feeling better?” he asked as I forgot all my troubles and steadily became very drunk.

I nodded, pointing a finger at him. He was starting to become very bleary, and my mind hummed with the wonderful effects of alcohol. “You were right.” For three hours I had forgotten about Mason and what he had implied about our children. Unsure whether it was the booze or generally I was past caring, I flung my arms in the air and let the music wash over me.

“You should venture into the club scene,” I told Danny when he grabbed my hands and tugged me against his body so he could hear me over the distinctive tone of Erasure’s, A Little Respect. “It’s hard work but definitely worth it. And quite the money earner. Mason’s club brought in quite a bit of cash.” I cursed my loose tongue when I added, “And great for washing money.”

Thankfully – miraculously - Danny hadn’t appeared to hear the last part, and I relaxed again. He nodded and rested his cheek against mine to shout into my ear, “It’s worth a thought. Maybe you could run it.”

I laughed. “Now I definitely know you’ve had too much to drink.”

“It’ll be fun. Me and you. We could make it work!”

Nodding, I went along with his dream. He’d had so much to drink that tomorrow he wouldn’t remember a word. “Why not.”

“Good girl!” His grin was huge and infectious, and I couldn’t help but smile along with him. “Together again, Walker and Stone!”

“You make us sound like an upmarket furniture store!”

Danny, apparently finding that hilarious, held on to me as he doubled over with hysterics. His laughter was infectious, and the giggles took over. Struggling to keep them contained, tears rolled down my face, and we both held each other up.

“God, I missed you, Ava Stone.”

Suddenly the merriment was gone from his eyes, and he became serious, his stare growing warmer with each second that passed. Gently, he tucked a strand of loose hair behind my ear, and I shivered when the faint touch of his fingers lingered on my skin. The room slid away, and the music became a muted background noise as the sound of my pulse throbbed in my ears.

It was crazy and so very foolish. As much as I knew what was about to happen was wrong, I couldn’t stop it. Whether
