Shaken

A see yourself out note isn’t how you want to celebrate the morning after your first one- night stand.

The first time I meet Archer Callahan is when I block him in a parking spot.

The second is a fender bender.

The third is at a bar, drinking away our problems, and finding our way to his bed.

I never expected to see him again.

That changes when a month later, he’s introduced as my brother’s new business partner.

In need of a job, I’m hired at their bar, much to Archer’s dismay.

We hate each other.

We’re off limits.

But every time we’re together, flashbacks of that night shake through us.

We push, we pull, until one of us breaks.
