Emerge (Evolve Series #1)(101)

Sawyer’s a godsend, shoving beers in my hand and attracting every lady in the bar over to our table. He’s doing a better job than

anyone else could at distracting me, including the brunette currently perched on my right leg...Manda? Mandy? She’s hot, with

long, dark hair, full lips and huge tits that she’s not afraid to let play peek-a- boo. She even smells decent and her hands know

no boundaries, but all I can think about is the one who got away; a beautiful blonde with a quick wit, smart mouth and devastating

smile.

“Dude, you need another one?” Sawyer’s question drags me from my mental misery, and I’m almost sure he’s asking about another

beer, not another girl.

“Sure,” I respond, with no feeling whatsoever. It’s sadly the correct answer no matter what he was asking.

“Want me to get it sugar?” M-whatever asks, with a syrup to her voice I just noticed, and don’t like.

“Two, Amy,” Sawyer directs her and hands her some money.

Amy? Shit, I wasn’t even close. Good thing I hadn’t spoken to her, even once.

“She’s hot bro,” Sawyer raises his brows and motions to Amy with his head, to which I shrug noncommittally. “What is it, you

need a blonde? I figured that’d be too much, but I can-“

I hold up a hand, cutting him off. “I appreciate it man, I do,” I stop and take a swig of beer, “but a parade of girls to choose

from isn’t gonna help me tonight. I just need to crash, wake up to a new day. You think you can take me to my truck?”

“Nah, but you can bunk with me,” he throws some bills on the table and stands, “let’s go.”

To my wonderful husband who brings me snacks while I’m typing away, cleans around me, surprises me with cool pens and notebooks

and makes it possible for me to be exactly who I am—I adore you Jeff. You are my better three-fourths and I am lucky you continue

to pick me.

To those two fabulous little girls wandering around calling me Mom—you guys are just the best! Thank you for seeking me out and

demanding my attention, always remembering to kiss me goodnight. You guys are the greatest thing I’ve ever done and gotten exactly

right! I hope in all my distracted absence lately that I’ve at least shown you to go for what you want...go for it full force and

be grateful for those still waiting around for you when you reach the end.

To my CP, Angela—anyone who doesn’t believe in kindred spirits has yet to find their CP! This book wouldn’t be what it is, or

even finished, without you. Thank you so much for all the calls, jam sessions, ideas and brutally honest feedback. Can’t wait to

work our next books together!

All my friends and family, which I dare not name individually in fear of forgetting someone—thank you all so much! So many of you

read version after version, ran over and let me read to you, made me copies, gave me pep talks, bought me “writer goodie packs”

and accepted me for the bitchy author in the corner with the far off look in her eyes, not really paying attention to a word

you’re saying.

Last but not least, thank you to my Lue for the inspiration. Since the minute you took a breath, you saved me and I have been in

awe of you ever since. Your beauty, laugh, wit and ability to light up a room never leave me short of amazed. I am so damn proud to

be your mom and have to admit; I’d kill to go back and be young again, as you. World wrapped around your little finger—that’s

what you have. I never doubt you’ll always bounce back; vibrant, playful and charming...lovely and loved.
