Wine And Whiskey (Surviving Absolution #1) - Plot & Excerpts
“Thank…” Nick paces back and forth, driving his hand through his hair. Her stomach drops at his ashen skin and glassy eyes rimmed with dark circles. With trembling hands, he reaches for the counter to steady himself, his unfocused gaze skimming over Max to her. “Where the fuck have you two been?” Pea pods and water chestnuts splay across the counter, tumbling out of their cartons at the force of Nick ripping the bags from Shae’s hands. A cold chill flushes her body at the hysteria surging in his groggy gaze. He crushes her against him, her dress stretching taut across her body from him fisting the fabric, engulfing her in his embrace. “I thought you were dead.” The other hand slides around the nape of her neck, gripping her hair as he murmurs against her ear, his voice raspy and weak. “You wouldn’t open your eyes. I tried everything, but you wouldn’t wake up.” She clutches him tightly, trying to soothe both of their worries and make sense of the whirlwind of anger and fear spinning around him.
