“That’s all I’m saying, man. When you know, you know.”

I winced at that. “Yeah, I don’t know.”

“But you do. I can see it in your head and in your heart. Don’t be afraid to pull the trigger.”

Pull the trigger was right. I would have to be insane to ever let that woman near me again. She was so fucking beautiful, and the way her pussy wrapped around me—She was dangerous as hell, and if she ever came near me again, I’d have to take her out just to keep from burying my cock in her and deciding to keep it there forever.

“Yeah, I don’t think she’s the one for me.”

“Then why were you looking into her?” He shook his head, making small pieces of his long hair fall from his man bun. “It’s okay to admit it and become vulnerable. Like I said, we’ve all been there. It’s nothing to be ashamed of.”

“I never said I was. And if I really thought she was for me, I wouldn’t hide from it.”

He nodded, sighing as he shoved his hands in his pockets. “Like you were hiding your search? If you didn’t care if anyone knew, you’d have asked Rae to look into it. Maybe that’s some food for thought.”

I glanced back at the screen just as he walked out the door. Now that he mentioned the mouthy vixen from my latest adventure, I found myself stuck on that beautiful face instead of the task at hand. And what a damn beautiful face it was.

But I could think of her after I got the information Edu needed.

My darling Patrick,

You know, it’s interesting. I’ve never written letters before, but now that I have, I like to think of it as writing to my long-lost love. No, you’re not my long-lost love, but you’ll have to do since there’s no one else to write to. I finally got my documents back. You wouldn’t believe what happened.

I went back to see James—giant weiner who broke my heart—to find out where the rest of my documents were. To my utter surprise, he was actually remorseful and crying. Talk about a shock. He seemed so concerned when I told him I lost my ID and immediately called someone to get it taken care of. That should have been my first clue that something else was going on. Then, he apologized and told me how sorry he was for breaking my heart. He didn’t know how he would ever make it up to me. It was so…weird. It was everything I wanted to hear, yet it felt so wrong. There was no way he just suddenly decided he couldn’t live without me.

When I told him there was no way we were getting back together, he begged me to come back to work for himand he would prove himself to me. That’s when I realized what his problem was. He hadn’t found anyone to replace me, and his office was a disaster. I called him out on it, and when I turned to leave, he grabbed me. Enter my palm…That’s right! I slapped him hard!

FYI, I punched him when I found out he cheated on me, but for some reason, this felt so much better. Of course, now I know I’ll never find a job in the city. I have officially been banned from every secretarial position, but I couldn’t ask for a more fitting way to end my relationship with him.

On a side note, I did find a new job, and I even told the female dentist why I had to leave my old job. She actually sided with me! Until I met the other hunky dentist and my ovaries exploded. She fired me on the spot. I had the job for literally two minutes before she fired me.

So, here I am. A jobless New Yorker, desperate for a way to earn money. I even considered becoming a hot dog vendor, to which Jeanie immediately shut me down. Can you believe that? I would make an awesome hot dog vendor.

“Get your chips! Hot dogs for only five dollars!” I can imagine myself with a horn and everything. New Yorkerswould race to buy my hot dogs! Best in town! That’s what my banner would say.

Thoughts? I think I would kill it.

Anyway, it doesn’t appear that hot dog slinging is in my future, so I’ll keep looking.

Hope your leg is feeling better.

Yours Indubitably,

Piper

I chuckledas I folded up the letter. I could see it now, Piper standing out on a New York street, calling out for people to get her hot dogs. She would be one sexy vendor. If she was selling them, I would buy them.

“What’s with the toothy grin?” Raven asked, glancing over at me from the driver’s seat. I hadn’t exactly invited her along, but I needed someone to drive me, and she was desperate to get out and do something fun. Nick didn’t know she was with me, and would probably be calling any minute to question why his wife was missing.

“A letter from Piper.”

She nodded. “Right, the chick from the woods. So, why is she writing you letters?”

“Because she doesn’t have a phone.”

“Who doesn’t have a phone?”

“She doesn’t have her ID. Well, I guess she just got it back.”
