"Talk," she said when she hunted him down that night. He thought he'd hid his shock pretty well, but you couldn't hide from Morgan. Her eyes said there was no way out of this. No excuses. She knew him too well. How could he resist?
"Fuck, Em," she said when he stopped for breath.
He started laughing. He couldn't help it. It was that or kiss her.
"That's my girl."
