With that, Morrison snatched the bracelet from Rose’s hand and slipped it onto

Morrison’s scalp tingled with discomfort. What a mess. Since when did putting

on a watch come with so many implications? Women’s thoughts were truly hard

to fathom.

But recalling how Mona’s antics had led to him standing Rose up at his own

birthday party years ago, he couldn’t help but wonder if they could’ve avoided all
