Blurb from Death Rub: Class reunions can be murder even after finding the perfect dress.
Excerpt from Death Rub:
“Maggie.” His voice had deepened, leaving a caress I must have imagined around my name. We stood watching each other, not really sure how to proceed after years of mistrust between us.
Travis cleared his throat. “Listen, I want to, um, apologize.”
I didn’t pretend a misunderstanding. I’d already had a crappy day and game playing lay beyond my capability. “Not necessary. Lots of years ago.”
“Well, I do want to talk.” He stepped off the porch, moving closer. “See, I was a rat bastard. I knew it at the time, but I dunno. Must’ve been too stupid and young and didn’t know how to fix my mistake.”
“Must have been” my ass. “Your hormones made you do it, right? Dumping me after two years and talking about a future together? For someone you knew would put out instead of waiting for me, and marriage the way you promised. That your story?”
His face reddened but he didn’t answer.
I snorted before I could stop myself. “So now you want to make nice, have me accept your apology and you can walk away with a clear conscience, right?”
“Well, yeah. I guess. I mean I’d like you at the reunion. You know. Like friends.”
“Like friends.”
“Uh huh.”
Okie dokie then. My blast from the past just wanted to have fu-un.
