An excerpt from Misfortune of Birth
[Always Cambridge 3]
“Is she still alive?”
“We think so.”
“Well, that's just fantastic, Alex! The FBI fucking thinks so.”
“Making friends again, Holly? They can hear you.”
“I’m well aware. The whole fuckin’ world can hear me and watch me. And you know what, Alex, for once I don’t give a fuck about this goddamn case!”
I hung up and sought refuge in the bathroom. I took one look in the mirror and started to cry, for many reasons, the least of which was the condition of my face. I wanted out. I couldn’t do this anymore. Especially to Victor. I’d come into this with every intention of making things better for myself and for him, but I’d done nothing but fuck things up. And now, I’d fallen in love with him. In love? Really? I stared at my own shocked reflection in the mirror. How could this be? I loved Randy. I would love Randy always. I crumbled to the floor and sobbed. And with my eyes shut I no longer saw Randy, my fair-haired beautiful saviour. I saw Victor. My dark and forbidden soul mate.
