w Hayden wanted her back. But the village head's son? And Gregory? What was
he talking about? Carlos pressed her against the liquor cabinet, raised one brow

“You got it wrong. We're in the same class, that’s all. I think you're way off base

think she and Carlos were both nuts. And that could ruin their friendship. “And
you're naive,” Carlos sneered. “Naive?’ Debbie was enraged. She disentangled
herself from his arms. “Well, now that we're getting things off our chests...” She
took a step back and stared up at him defiantly, arms crossed.
