She’s got curves that my hands ache to hold, and toffee-colored eyes that beg me to do unspeakable things to her. I don’t want to want her. I don’t want to look at her, and I definitely don’t want to long for her. I want to avoid her. Except… I can’t. Everywhere I go, everything I do, I am brought back to Larkin.
