Sprung — Kate Benson

EVIE Boy meets girl, they spend a decade at each other's throats, seething with hatred until fate lands them wasted together in an airport hotel, waking naked and hungover to find they'd done the unthinkable. Tale as old as time, right? Dash and I both thought that'd be the happy ending of our dysfunctional fairy tale, but months of bad decisions have somehow led us to where we are now-crazy in love, despite how hard we fought it. I guess we'd be alright if we hadn't forgotten one minor detail: We still had to tell my insanely overprotective brother and Dash's best friend, Mason, the truth about us. We thought the feelings we had for each other would fade out as quickly as the alcohol, that we could fight fate. We were wrong. DASH Secrets, lies, deception… we should have known from the jump we weren't smart enough to pull any of it off. I'm not sure what me and Evie were thinking. Hell, we were so blindsided by all of this, I think it's safe to say we weren't thinking at all. If we had been, we would have moved on before everything went to hell. I should have turned around and ran before I fell for her wicked vagina voodoo, but I didn't. What started as the most awkward walk of shame in history with my nemesis shifted into something neither of us saw coming. We were powerless… hooked… it came for us, slamming into us like a cinder block. By the time we looked up and saw what was happening, it was too late. We were already sprung.
