Maya Banks - Sweet Temptation

Angelina Moyano watched from a distance as Micah Hudson stood over the two headstones in the small graveyard. She studied him from behind a large oak tree, her small hands gripping the rough bark. It was always like this. At dawn he‟d come to honor their memories. Just as he did every year.The sun‟s rays were barely peeking over the horizon, but the Florida humidity was already thick and heavy, each breath a struggle in the cloying heat. She chanced a look over her shoulder, damning her paranoia that she‟d been followed, but she couldn‟t afford to take chances. Seeing nothing, she turned her attention back to Micah.He knelt at Hannah‟s grave and carefully laid a single yellow rose, her favorite, just below the marble slab that marked her death. He kissed his thumb and the ridge of his forefinger then laid his hand over the flat ground.Angelina sucked in her breath. It was different this year. Before he‟d always stood there looking so haunted, his eyes filled with grief and regret. This year ... this year he seemed to be saying good-bye.Her eyes filled with tears when he turned to David‟s grave and drew a simple rosary from his pocket. He kissed the beads and then laid them at her brother‟s headstone.Sadness knotted her throat. She missed them too. She missed Micah, but he was as lost to her as David and Hannah. Maybe now he was ready. Ready to let go.
