At the same time, she rested her chin on his shoulder. His wandering hands occasionally caused her speech to hitch. Eventually, his hand

Asmile tugged at her lips. "So... did they end up together?" ---- "No. Things ended badly between them." What? It sounded like the beginning of a romantic tale. Why did it end badly? Sensing her interest, his hand
