521Please respect copyright.PENANAzdGi3Z5rd1
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.PENANAGX4qphEMn2
521Please respect copyright.PENANAnPMyuXWz4f
She turned and glared at him. "I told you, we're done talking."521Please respect copyright.PENANAzPoj8MWLLa
521Please respect copyright.PENANAS2eUIql1tm
"No," he said, as he got close to her. "Please let me explain."521Please respect copyright.PENANAhAECP0d5yq
521Please respect copyright.PENANAyRialrWTYq
She backed away, her green eyes wide. "I have to go."521Please respect copyright.PENANAMeCxto6nUR
521Please respect copyright.PENANAgseLVfYTa3
He gripped her arm lightly. "Just wait, Eden. Wait."521Please respect copyright.PENANAmkR3Vfpf5q
521Please respect copyright.PENANAWjSYx1w8cu
"Let me go, Daniel."521Please respect copyright.PENANA05oJb1VKKs
521Please respect copyright.PENANAWnwcGNOlV4
His blue eyes darkened.521Please respect copyright.PENANANTnEmIoaWf
521Please respect copyright.PENANAp4DBlNLmwp
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.PENANADTkomRGA1v
521Please respect copyright.PENANAmssErh1A4O
"Are you all right?" he asked.521Please respect copyright.PENANAphw7jo9uSj
521Please respect copyright.PENANAkHCBehBZ8d
"I'll be fine," she answered.521Please respect copyright.PENANA5HMx7jRigq
521Please respect copyright.PENANAQ2r8GhD2eK
"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.PENANA80ylLLAPMc
521Please respect copyright.PENANAhvRzYEnM0H
Daniel made a move toward Eden again, and the man pushed him back.521Please respect copyright.PENANAz4MwK8ii5x
521Please respect copyright.PENANA4q4shdEWeE
"I warned you," he hissed.521Please respect copyright.PENANACgYHu5lfZR
521Please respect copyright.PENANAOUaikCp8O0
After he was gone, Eden shook her head. "Thank you, but I was handling it."521Please respect copyright.PENANAJic4oNnkvc
521Please respect copyright.PENANAiT22AmfR77
"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.PENANAEs9Gv6mwLG
521Please respect copyright.PENANAJL1YdUvMAk
"Sorry if I ruined your night."521Please respect copyright.PENANAfupb9FBKx4
521Please respect copyright.PENANAdWiPb6pIFg
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.PENANAC9dGPUbUrJ
521Please respect copyright.PENANAa7pgWTL4QR
"Daniel," she replied, frowning.521Please respect copyright.PENANA8TrLKtQlQU
521Please respect copyright.PENANAYKMC3ivYBN
"Is he your boyfriend?"521Please respect copyright.PENANASFtc46aqjv
521Please respect copyright.PENANAgO6vU9eXlj
"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.PENANAXwBURiNewG
521Please respect copyright.PENANA8Zk7cPqwFA
He grinned briefly. "I'm sorry, I've forgotten my manners. I'm John."521Please respect copyright.PENANA8MomT2O7u0
521Please respect copyright.PENANAAjg1rv4HiW
"Eden."521Please respect copyright.PENANAPfVtem3yUk
521Please respect copyright.PENANALJHh8yooa3
"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.PENANAyEorH7LQJp
521Please respect copyright.PENANAxtJXNYhUnL
Eden nodded. "It was nice to meet you."521Please respect copyright.PENANA498xRdtj6g
521Please respect copyright.PENANAcYAn5SwQCD
"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.PENANAoeVxhwKuej
