His footsteps pounding on the pavement behind her. He was fast. The streets were full of people, but none of them looked concerned at the woman sprinting down the sidewalk, with a man shouting angrily after her.521Please respect copyright.PENANAaaENYQzBew

"No," he said, as he got close to her. "Please let me explain."521Please respect copyright.PENANAO446FojPYV
521Please respect copyright.PENANAWJCIfzR3BQ
She backed away, her green eyes wide. "I have to go."521Please respect copyright.PENANAJdWmuyFo2r
521Please respect copyright.PENANAPkvXmQDSj0
He gripped her arm lightly. "Just wait, Eden. Wait."521Please respect copyright.PENANAp25ULYaWwu
521Please respect copyright.PENANAgyhIiollUJ
"Let me go, Daniel."521Please respect copyright.PENANAuEJzml2jF4
521Please respect copyright.PENANAs5kfyuUMj2
His blue eyes darkened.521Please respect copyright.PENANA82ttB5mFiB
521Please respect copyright.PENANAwDkXmGt9kk
Eden pulled from him and stumbled back into someone. She looked up to see the man from the bar. He was staring at Daniel with a hard gaze, his lips curling.521Please respect copyright.PENANA4uVeiMjeiF
521Please respect copyright.PENANAQZj0KuA8Xv
"Are you all right?" he asked.521Please respect copyright.PENANAYVbpZKHGxG

"I'll be fine," she answered.521Please respect copyright.PENANAFWobPzSYlm
521Please respect copyright.PENANAqivzI8W0TE
"Good." His eyes fell on Daniel. "Now get the hell out of here, or I'll make you sorry you ever touched her."521Please respect copyright.PENANAVqe4JjjyQA
521Please respect copyright.PENANAWMStwqskQt
Daniel made a move toward Eden again, and the man pushed him back.521Please respect copyright.PENANAXgWXAnLPeF
521Please respect copyright.PENANAhBD5wL3BOt
"I warned you," he hissed.521Please respect copyright.PENANAe8zI1gKSgl
521Please respect copyright.PENANAeFX3eyPxXW
After he was gone, Eden shook her head. "Thank you, but I was handling it."521Please respect copyright.PENANAyMrE5cLSm1
521Please respect copyright.PENANA4K4GpwnmCT
"I'm sure you were," the man replied smugly. "And it looks like so many people were willing to help you with your confrontation."521Please respect copyright.PENANA5Yj1jbIJ3R
521Please respect copyright.PENANAxKYYYsYAra
"Sorry if I ruined your night."521Please respect copyright.PENANAEuPjVCaHtM
521Please respect copyright.PENANAhoQTUHJFsa
He shrugged. "My night ended after my last drink. I was just heading home when you ran into me." He looked down the now empty street. "Who was he?"521Please respect copyright.PENANAJ1B767paps
521Please respect copyright.PENANAobViOGljMX
"Daniel," she replied, frowning.521Please respect copyright.PENANAywUcMEYdCh
521Please respect copyright.PENANAb6sdxValNE
"Is he your boyfriend?"521Please respect copyright.PENANAUdOPc4buhM
521Please respect copyright.PENANA4z2N0gKnY4
"Was." She looked into his gray eyes as they walked down the sidewalk. "He's changed a lot since we've been together."521Please respect copyright.PENANAY2AW4W32AE
521Please respect copyright.PENANA9G0ms8h2Mu
He grinned briefly. "I'm sorry, I've forgotten my manners. I'm John."521Please respect copyright.PENANAi1VnfzpDy2

"Eden."521Please respect copyright.PENANAl7a0gzavGg
521Please respect copyright.PENANAcjrBrfZ0BD
"Garden of Eden, Adam and Eve," he murmured. "Well, it was a pleasure, but I've got to head home. I have an early morning."521Please respect copyright.PENANA7lyXOPeIXe
521Please respect copyright.PENANAsWKv0GgFLE
Eden nodded. "It was nice to meet you."521Please respect copyright.PENANAXI7d8jazsg

"Be careful on your way," John said softly as he started in the opposite direction. "You never know who you may run into." 521Please respect copyright.PENANAHLVCdgeulc
