Restraining Order

Amelie

As I finally escaped from the labyrinth of stores and sweat, I felt a wave of satisfaction and accomplishment run down my body. I was done with shopping, all that was left was to go home to my husband and child, and my day will finally be complete.

As I hurried toward my car, my mind running wild with the joyful thoughts of spending the day with my family, I was completely unprepared for the sight that awaited me. On the bonnet of my vehicle rested Liam Hardwood. He had a tight pose just like one of the models in these vogue magazines, and the hot sun did his skin justice by reflecting off the pearls of sweat and giving him a light glow.

I had a feeling he would be around somewhere. It was blatantly obvious that Anna was new around here, she could barely tell her right from her left. Someone must have driven her here. And while I suspected it might have been a hired driver, the chances that Liam had driven her here weren't completely void.
