"Fucking parking lots," I grumbled aloud, dodging mothers, fathers, and annoying kids. My cell phone buzzed in my suit pocket. I stopped in my tracks, almost getting hit by busy shoppe...
CHAPTER NINE - Hiliad's life story "I'm one thousand years old." "That's not enough. Have you ever been in love?" I challenged him. I really did want to know.
