One hand in the center of her chest, she tried to capture her breath. This went way beyond friendship. They'd had years of that. He knew her as well as she knew him, likes and dislikes, funny habits. The part they didn't know, what they hadn't experienced now begged for attention. But was it only because of forced togetherness? If they were in a posh hotel in Miami, facing sunny days and open air, would any of this have happened?
Would they regret it tomorrow? That was the biggest question of all. After whatever came of this night, would they walk out of here better or worse?
Packard Barrows has been friends with Trinity Wilkins since high school. All though college and into their adult years, they've lived close to each other and done things together. But never with any serious intent. In fact, he's all but engaged to another woman now. Trinity regretted accepting her boyfriend's proposal from almost the moment he made it. Prodded by her friends to reconsider her life, for the first time in her twenty-seven years, she sees her best friend, Packard, in a new light. What if the love she's been looking for has been staring her in the face all this time?
Yet, a warm weekend together in Miami, mid-winter, ordinarily an innocent trip, tests both their old friendship and their, as yet, unstated new feelings. It could be their relationship isn't strong enough for love. It could be by trying to change what they have, they'll destroy it for good.
