His footsteps pounding on the pavement behind her. He was fast. The streets were full of people, but none of them looked concerned at the woman sprinting down the sidewalk, with a man shouting angrily after her.453Please respect copyright.PENANAGFlf7dQU0h
453Please respect copyright.PENANAHWksEpllOA

She backed away, her green eyes wide. "I have to go."453Please respect copyright.PENANAuZetC21Wcg

He gripped her arm lightly. "Just wait, Eden. Wait."453Please respect copyright.PENANAzNhr4ypWP2
453Please respect copyright.PENANAoIu2HaWcl4
"Let me go, Daniel."453Please respect copyright.PENANAVJBQ0jKu1P

His blue eyes darkened.453Please respect copyright.PENANArLVkjEjxT8
453Please respect copyright.PENANAgBxeRnz5DA
Eden pulled from him and stumbled back into someone. She looked up to see the man from the bar. He was staring at Daniel with a hard gaze, his lips curling.453Please respect copyright.PENANAYDQH1sbVYZ
453Please respect copyright.PENANAsexPeC1DMC
"Are you all right?" he asked.453Please respect copyright.PENANA2bXi6nETYA
453Please respect copyright.PENANAIUrISOYbjw
"I'll be fine," she answered.453Please respect copyright.PENANAhBwqqoMOPX

"I warned you," he hissed.453Please respect copyright.PENANAEf87em4Uz1

After he was gone, Eden shook her head. "Thank you, but I was handling it."453Please respect copyright.PENANA9oz5WtX3PF
453Please respect copyright.PENANAtr3sNgaZ4D
"I'm sure you were," the man replied smugly. "And it looks like so many people were willing to help you with your confrontation."453Please respect copyright.PENANAtVpNuMCJG6
453Please respect copyright.PENANAUhaa8V2RLM
"Sorry if I ruined your night."453Please respect copyright.PENANAkTwL3ook4W
453Please respect copyright.PENANAtSsVD0SG4t
He shrugged. "My night ended after my last drink. I was just heading home when you ran into me." He looked down the now empty street. "Who was he?"453Please respect copyright.PENANAasuhoLl70O
453Please respect copyright.PENANAcKzmSJ9laj
"Daniel," she replied, frowning.453Please respect copyright.PENANAG2mimDbj7e
453Please respect copyright.PENANAFV1HQGOzoO
"Is he your boyfriend?"453Please respect copyright.PENANAxG6G3l9ZAw
453Please respect copyright.PENANA9j3vtPI7PO
"Was." She looked into his gray eyes as they walked down the sidewalk. "He's changed a lot since we've been together."453Please respect copyright.PENANAnhJwBExZkM
453Please respect copyright.PENANAoarFX5TqGd
He grinned briefly. "I'm sorry, I've forgotten my manners. I'm John."453Please respect copyright.PENANAcX0SCoBFtu

"Garden of Eden, Adam and Eve," he murmured. "Well, it was a pleasure, but I've got to head home. I have an early morning."453Please respect copyright.PENANA8qSlT9pemM

Eden nodded. "It was nice to meet you."453Please respect copyright.PENANAVTrci8Wtyq

"Be careful on your way," John said softly as he started in the opposite direction. "You never know who you may run into." 453Please respect copyright.PENANA7VkdgZkzCh
