"So why do they call you Wilder?" Candy asked, her hand disturbingly close to ht with a gorgeous wos attached?

But now I had Leah, and Candy was no Leah

"It’s my last name," I answered

She pouted "Is that really all there is?"

"Because he’s always up for any trick or any challenge He’s got a wild streak a mile wide," Landon answered

"I like wild," Candy said,even closer

I slid another six inches away

"And why are you Nova?" her friend asked

"Casanova has a ith the ladies," I helped him out Not that Landon needed any help Hell, he needed someone to yank back the leash and remind him who he was underneath theto come at the cost of my own relationship

She’ll understand if you tell her, one part of ued

You blew past the honesty door, bud Enjoy this while it lasts, the other added

But losing Leah… God, I couldn’t even think about it A feeling between voht-black sorrow possessed my body every time the re I’d ever had

"So I can see," Candy said while her friend giggled

I ranaway a streak of condensation Was this really how I’d spenton the Athena? Is this what had made me happy?

Hell, had I actually been happy?

Busy, yes Challenged, sure My life was de…happy Not in the way I had been these last few days

"…don’t you think?" Candy asked, looking at me for a response to a question I hadn’t heard

And that’s what I got for not listening

"I think Wilderreat, but I think he liked Mykonos the best"

I took the cue "Yeah, there is so of sex," Candy said as the waitress delivered our shots

Nice segue
