Stupid Girl

by Cindy Miles

  “I’m in love with you, too, Braxton Jenkins.” Tears filled my eyes. “Forever won’t be nearly long enough.”

  “Sweetheart,” he said, his eyes holding mine. “Forever is for fuckin’ sissies. Pardon my French, but let’s go for eternity, yeah?”

  I grinned and squeezed his hand. Forevah. Pahdon. I’d made the right choice all right.

  And sometimes, what seemed like the stupid choices turned out to be the only choices.

  Thank you for purchasing Stupid Girl by Cindy Miles!
