“Like what?”
“I want to go visit Bianca in Italy, see Europe, and as much of the world as possible.I want to learn how to cook Indian food because Mom and I always had it when we had something to celebrate.I want to go to a rodeo and learn how to ride a horse, and I want to go to a baseball game or a football game.I don’t understand either, so it won’t matter.And to a concert to feel the crowd around me.And I want to take proper dancing lessons.”
While her joyful effervescence filled the truck, I couldn’t help but smile.
“That’s quite the list, baby.”
“Then I want to be somewhere quiet and write about it all.”

My fingers were still tight in the back of Jake’s hair and my body plastered to his when I pulled out of our kiss.
Jake had driven me to work, as he’d done every morning for the past week, and we were standing by his car in the parking lot of my office building.Our eyes were locked onto each other’s, and we didn’t move an inch.
“Get a fucking room,” an irate male voice grumbled behind me.
As the man stomped past us, Jake’s lips twitched.“See you tonight, beautiful.”
We were going to spend the next few days at the house.After another drugging kiss, I curled my arm around his waist, and we walked past Ruiz’s car on our way to the building entrance where Kelly was waiting.
He pecked my lips and jerked his chin at Kelly before prowling back to his car.God, the man gave new meaning to sex on legs.
Kelly’s amused voice cut through my heated thoughts.“Shall we?”
Work kept me busy all morning, and I was at my desk, typing an email when Sherry’s head peeked between the door jamb of Olly’s and my office.
“Sienna, do you have a minute?”
I kept typing.“I’ll just finish an email, and—”
Sherry’s long legs, dressed in her usual wide-legged pants—those ones in a maroon shade—stepped into the small office.“The email can wait.Come to the conference room.”
