But then I became a runaway bride, headed straight for Belladonna Ink to get the kind of tattoo I always wanted and my ex always called trashy. She didn't approve of a lot of things I did. I think maybe she didn't approve of who I am.
So I'm determined to be as much of myself as I can manage. Dating my tattoo artist? I'm in. Cai is smart, sexy, and mysterious. Exactly what I need for a rebound. She keeps herself guarded, but I understand -- I'm holding on to secrets too. The kind of secrets that make a girl want to run home to Mom, even if home is Idaho. Maybe especially then. I just didn't expect Cai to come with me.
I wonder what it would take to get her to stay forever.
