Synopsis
Eight years ago, Scott and Gaby shared one very special
night. Not wanting to ruin their friendship, they didn't take things
further...but neither of them has forgotten.
When Scott’s friends stage an intervention to make him
realize that his fiancé, Victoria, is all wrong for him, he takes time to
evaluate his life. He’s earned a big promotion and just bought his dream car,
but those things are just superficial. The one time he was truly happy, was
with Gaby.
Gaby is in a good place in her life. She loves her job, has
the best friends and family a girl could ask for, and is dating a sweet and
sexy guy, but she’s never stopped thinking about that night with Scott.
Eager to find happiness again, Scott makes a plan to win
Gaby’s heart during a weekend getaway, but she doesn’t want to be his rebound
girl. Will 42 hours be enough to convince Gaby that it's finally their time for
love?
Excerpt
“The other night, at the bar, right before the band
started…. You came back from the bathroom, looking all flushed and embarrassed.
Then you downed TJ’s beer… I’d meant to ask you about it then, but the music
came on, and we all got distracted. Did something happen?”
I flushed at his
question, as I remembered the scene that had gotten me all flustered.
“Oh… God… I just,” I
felt like such a child, I could barely even talk about it, and it wasn’t as if
I’d walked in on them having sex or anything. “I ran into Brock’s brother
Brendan … The lead singer. Anyway, he and some girl were going at it pretty hot
and heavy in the hallway.”
“Oh,” Scott looked
at me suddenly, then cleared his throat and looked back out the windshield. “So
you were embarrassed?”
I let out a nervous
laugh and admitted, “Yeah, because I was taken by surprised, and I kind of, um,
stood there and watched for a minute. Then, Brendan caught me, and said hi,
like it was no big deal. I just felt like a prude.”
“Hmmm,” Scott
began, as if unsure what to say next. “Have you never been in that situation
before?”
I averted my eyes,
then responded softly, “What? Practically having sex in a bar? No.”
“No,” Scott said,
his voice rough. “Where you’ve been so in the moment, that you couldn’t control
yourself, and didn’t care if you got caught or not.”
I squirmed in my
seat, his words affecting me more than they probably should. My body felt warm,
so I turned up the AC a bit and pointed the vent in my direction.
“No,” I admitted, my
voice barely audible.
When Scott didn’t
respond, I started to worry that he thought I was referring to the night that
he and I’d slept together, so I blurted, “Oh… I wasn’t trying to say that you
and I didn’t have passion…”
I felt the blush
roll over my face like a heat wave.
“I mean, it was our
first time… And it was lovely…” Shit, I was digging in deeper. “What I meant
was that I’ve never had someone take me up against the wall in the club like
that.”
Oh. My. God. Had I
just said that. I wanted to melt into the floorboards.
I brought my hands
to my face, hiding my mortification.
