Buttons and Pain - Paperback

Crow knows exactly where I am-but he hasn't come for me.

 

When I saw my chance to run, I took it and returned to New York City. I live in my old apartment, got my old job back, and do my best to pretend Crow Barsetti never existed. I looked him in the eye and told him I loved him-and he ignored me.

 

I accept the relationship is over when he doesn't call for several weeks, but when I walk into my apartment and spot the buttons sitting on the counter, I realize I'm wrong. Crow has come for me-and he wants me to know it.

 

When we finally come face to face, I expect a groveling apology and a declaration of love, but I get neither. Crow wants me to return to Tuscany with him, and as much as I miss my old life, I refuse. Not unless he gives me everything I want. I want commitment instead of buttons. I want love instead of lust. I want a husband and children, someday.

 

And I want it with him.
