Excerpt
Carm stayed
close to Paige beneath the glow of the huge buildings lighting their
way in the club district. Paige swung the door of a dance club open,
gesturing with her hand to follow. The pulsating beat from the music
struck Carm as she pushed through the crowd, drinking and acting out
of control. The moving, bright, colorful lights blinded her.
Paige leaned
over the bar and planted a big kiss on the bartender’s cheek. “Hot
spot tonight, Thomas,” she shouted.
Thomas held her
tight before he pulled away. “It’s the place to be! Vodka and
cranberry?” He grinned.
“Four.” She
beamed. She removed her wool jacket and handed it to him. “Give him
your coat, Carm. He’ll hold it behind the bar for you.”
“Nice to see
you again, Carm,” he said, taking her outer wear. He handed her two
drinks. She bit her lip, looking at him—tanned and wearing a black,
body-hugging T-shirt and slim black jeans. She rolled her eyes,
watching the effect he had on the women who waited to order. The
roving, bright, colorful lights continued to blind Carm as she
glanced around the room filled with numb or over-stimulated people
who laughed, sang, talked, and danced to the thumping music among the
cluttered Christmas decorations. She saw Philip take a step toward
her. Her heart stopped, and every muscle in her body tightened. Carm
tried to keep her composure as her entire insides buzzed from all the
narcotics. Philip grabbed her arms, pulling her close to him.
“You sure look
hot!” he whispered in her ear.
She stood
frozen, pressed against his expensive, scented shirt.
He took her face
in his hands, pulling his face to hers for a kiss.
Carm struggled
against the strength of his upper body. Pushing him away, she spilled
her vodka and cranberry. She broke free, exchanging a glance with
Roxy, who downed her drink and clunked the glass down on the table.
She spotted
Paige waving in her direction, and then pointed to the restroom,
waiting for her to follow. Carm, her hands trembling and carrying her
drinks, pushed her way through the crowd, heading toward her.
