I threw the agreement in his face, leaped to my feet, and started showing them the door. “Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have a beauty nap to take. Get out of here and remember to take your trash with you.”

I guess I had Maddison to thank for that. I was this close to marrying a snake!

Sally was upset. “This is what I don’t like about you, Taylor. You have the temper of a tyrant!

I forced the disgust in my heart down and commanded my pet dog, “Bullet, get them!”

Bullet barked at them incessantly.

Edward had to hold her hand as they backed away.

He shot me a cold glance. “This is too much, Taylor! How could I have been so wrong about you?!”

I’d grown accustomed to his verbal tirades.

“Should I buy some fireworks while I’m at it?” I asked.

“What the hell?!”

“You know, to celebrate the occasion,” I explained.

“You bitch! You’re just like your mot—”
