His footsteps pounding on the pavement behind her. He was fast. The streets were full of people, but none of them looked concerned at the woman sprinting down the sidewalk, with a man shouting angrily after her.346Please respect copyright.PENANAc5aEpkxjcr
346Please respect copyright.PENANAIy2Un3dBPy
She turned and glared at him. "I told you, we're done talking."346Please respect copyright.PENANAbTxs2fF9NQ

"No," he said, as he got close to her. "Please let me explain."346Please respect copyright.PENANAYusGci3133
346Please respect copyright.PENANAnqDOHbdWmU
She backed away, her green eyes wide. "I have to go."346Please respect copyright.PENANAzNEaBbSksm
346Please respect copyright.PENANA9nlkgJxzJF
He gripped her arm lightly. "Just wait, Eden. Wait."346Please respect copyright.PENANAjo8F435oLD
346Please respect copyright.PENANAMQLQCfX3bz
"Let me go, Daniel."346Please respect copyright.PENANAt1GZaMGZll
346Please respect copyright.PENANAp9vuzSsQlB
His blue eyes darkened.346Please respect copyright.PENANAFdXAsRrPxS
346Please respect copyright.PENANAWXhL9pVca6
Eden pulled from him and stumbled back into someone. She looked up to see the man from the bar. He was staring at Daniel with a hard gaze, his lips curling.346Please respect copyright.PENANAJPl8x1C813
346Please respect copyright.PENANAsQg45Gjd2r
"Are you all right?" he asked.346Please respect copyright.PENANA38qkVHl0mg
346Please respect copyright.PENANAKX8YVq9qoi
"I'll be fine," she answered.346Please respect copyright.PENANAfVx07rUrBa
346Please respect copyright.PENANArXptMBDoHx
"Good." His eyes fell on Daniel. "Now get the hell out of here, or I'll make you sorry you ever touched her."346Please respect copyright.PENANAfqNgbGvKIw
346Please respect copyright.PENANAsjHJrysQGW
Daniel made a move toward Eden again, and the man pushed him back.346Please respect copyright.PENANAgy4UKyxKPp
346Please respect copyright.PENANAkNPPnAn18D
"I warned you," he hissed.346Please respect copyright.PENANAkewYQQzDHM
346Please respect copyright.PENANAuijLEkbkA4
After he was gone, Eden shook her head. "Thank you, but I was handling it."346Please respect copyright.PENANAOfMNMdy9YQ
346Please respect copyright.PENANAP68igpJU7C
"I'm sure you were," the man replied smugly. "And it looks like so many people were willing to help you with your confrontation."346Please respect copyright.PENANAYaqbB7cKLr
346Please respect copyright.PENANAVflxXfZbHt
"Sorry if I ruined your night."346Please respect copyright.PENANAQYBfmLznH7
346Please respect copyright.PENANA0P0Spl9r7a
He shrugged. "My night ended after my last drink. I was just heading home when you ran into me." He looked down the now empty street. "Who was he?"346Please respect copyright.PENANA5CVcVmTGQg
346Please respect copyright.PENANA3F6PaVx6kg
"Daniel," she replied, frowning.346Please respect copyright.PENANAmfYzw2zljm
346Please respect copyright.PENANAEgbe7FN8Lt
"Is he your boyfriend?"346Please respect copyright.PENANAITVDyFcYGO
346Please respect copyright.PENANATR2l9mPW9F
"Was." She looked into his gray eyes as they walked down the sidewalk. "He's changed a lot since we've been together."346Please respect copyright.PENANATuY1lwHbW6
346Please respect copyright.PENANAUqlWfvSr7i
He grinned briefly. "I'm sorry, I've forgotten my manners. I'm John."346Please respect copyright.PENANA1JGqpSUGXk

"Eden."346Please respect copyright.PENANA7jgVQNDW5S

"Garden of Eden, Adam and Eve," he murmured. "Well, it was a pleasure, but I've got to head home. I have an early morning."346Please respect copyright.PENANAAJxgNRPF2v
346Please respect copyright.PENANA82TttH3RrC
Eden nodded. "It was nice to meet you."346Please respect copyright.PENANAMYx2RqVUfk

"Be careful on your way," John said softly as he started in the opposite direction. "You never know who you may run into." 346Please respect copyright.PENANAZjoN5JCSqB
