The man lit by the parking lot floodlights was a total stranger. Sadly, because he was gorgeous. “No, sorry.

Dilemmas, No Answers Vic’s snort made Stephan glance up from the script he was reading alongside his plate of fruit and bites of Nutribar. “What?” Vic turned his phone toward Stephan. “The headlines.” Oh.
