Chewing on my nails, I let Susan’s words sink in I knehat I wanted to do, but I didn’t know if I had the courage to do it After all, the cards see about ht I enty-one years old, in love with a woh emotional hell because of his irlfriend had beaten ive hiinity Surely that made me crazy

But when it all cah me whenever I looked at Jake or ere close to each other No, I was crazy in love with him I’d been in love with him before my accident, and after the last month with him, I was even more in love with him than ever before

"Seducing you"

The corners of his lips twitched, and I could tell he was fighting not to laugh "You caet-up to seduce me?"
