And those eyes framed by impossibly thick lashes? They were such a beautifulJulia of war at her with those eyes, his shoulders loose, but she got the wild, distinct ih everything about him appeared relaxed

Did Anna find this fine specimen of a man at the dart boards? Julia needed to spend uys who

"Julia--Jules, this is" Anna’s blue eyes glinted with excitement as she twisted her toward the most beautiful man Julia had ever seen in her entire life "I’ain?"

How in the world could Anna forget this man’s name? Once Julia heard it, it would be forever tattooed into her brain

He smiled then, and every part of Julia’s body took notice, from the crown of her head, all the way down to the tips of her toes, and especially all the unused places in between His sht, and absolutely heart-stopping "Taylor"

Oh my

His voice

Deep and smooth, there was a hint of accent Perhaps southern? Julia didn’t know, but Taylor had it going on and on and on

"Taylor! That’s right" Anna was grinning like a cat that just ate a roole Julia I was telling you about"

Did she just say what it sounded like? Very single? Was Anna drunk? Did she not see what this guy looked like?

Absolutely stunned, she watched hi the crowds of people like sood In all the twenty-seven years of her life, she’d never seen anyone that attractive in person

"Ohthat," Anna said

Julia’s wide eyes found her

She clapped her hands and hopped

"Where did you find hi called What Fantasies Are Made of?"
