The garden was small, but healthy. Dozens of different kinds of flowers were in bloom, and the tiny herb garden beside it was doing very well ( Read more... )

They hadn't left Em and Jase's house since Gabe's little visit, neither of them wanting to venture near the big house. None of them had even spoken about it since it happened. Sin was rather shocked at Gabe's appearance, she'd never known him to walk around with the leopard's eyes and fangs ( Read more... )

The house decorating was done. Zane was off... somewhere. He'd tell her when he got back. Sin was doing the one thing she hated.

She still couldn't cry.

She'd finally crawled out of bed late in the evening and was now curled up in the library, watching the fire. Lil had gone through the house and locked up all alcohol, and she wasn't sure if that was a good thing or not.

All she wanted right now was to forget.

She had woken up in the recovery room, Zane by her side. It was another two hours before they allowed her to leave. Zane had brought her home and put her to bed, had taken care of her all day long. Yet she hadn't moved from the bed, hadn't spoken a word. So afraid that if she did she would crack, would fall apart into a thousand pieces, never to ( Read more... )
