It was strange because I felt so free and elated, but in the back of my mind there was still the chill of fear from the incident with Chris.What had started off as a terrifying evening had turned into a night of mind-blowing sex with Max, and there I was the next morning being whisked off to the California wine country.He didn’t tell me where we were going, at first.
