DIXIE THUMBED THROUGH THE book, the group's conversation washing over her. Book club night usually energized her. It was a bi-monthly opportunity to be in a room full of women she counted as friends. They'd selected a paranormal book this time, and though Dixie had tried she just couldn't get into it.

“They don’t have a fucking clue who they’re dealing with.” Austin, who’s been silent up to this point, grunts. I turn to the backseat and give him my attention. “Melina knows exactly who they’re up against. She’ll be the death of me one way or another. I may lock her back in the basement for the next year.” “When did they make these fucking plans?” Alex asks as we turn on the last street before we reach the warehouse.

The crowd was a nice mix of intellectuals, some quite/serious and others who just wanted an entertaining night out. She dragged the mic over to the small lifted p

Athena looked down, fist clenched so tightly that her nails cut her palms. —————— She found temporary solace in the quiet of the library, dusting the tall shelves when the doors opened. Lucian strolled in, hand in hand with Helena.

Every time I glanced at it, fresh waves of humiliation crashed over me. I needed out. My Book club meeting was today. Right.
