“We have something else in mind,” she said.
Something inside me fell. Something inside me let go. I said: “Well, fuck me.”
Zane answered: “No. But now… I could. Can.”
And his grin soared my heart.
“Wild!” said Russell. They knocked fists like two dudes in the ’hood, and Russell said: “Later.”
“’Xactly.”
Walking away, Cari held Zane’s hand with the strength of a woman who’d settled for no less than special and he held her with the patience of a man who knew how to wait.
Water lapped the shore by my feet.
“I told you that you didn’t get women,” said Russell.
“Look who’s talking,” I muttered.
Waves rippled in front of us.
“So,” he finally said. “Do you know what you want to do?”
Wave rippled in front of us. The sky was blue overhead. Behind us was a black smear of smoke on the asphalt, glistening diamonds of shattered glass. Waves rippled.
And I said: “Yeah.”
