Private Hospital.

Magnus lay back against the pillows, flipping through a book titled "100 Ways to Win Her Back."

Frankly, the advice inside left him dumbfounded. Some of the suggestions were so outlandish, they completely overturned everything he thought he knew about relationships. His brow twitched with every page.
