If she had been, she'd have sniffed out her ex-husband's antics before it was too late. Willow has been burned, but not broken, and she's determined to keep her guard up next time. Dominic Made is going through his own hell at the moment, and tonight he's in the foulest mood imaginable. He'd like nothing better than to shut the world out. But he can't. Not tonight. So, he just sits at the bar with his gaze pointing downwards, nursing his top shelf bourbon. Then, something makes him look up. What, or rather who, he sees, guarantees that he won't look down again. In fact, she makes him keep a very keen eye to see what unfolds. Blink, and he would've missed it. Tonight, Willow wants to drink, drink until she forgets where she has to be in a week. The bar is packed, but she wants to speak to no one. Fate, however, has other ideas. Fate sends her two 'someones'. The first, she has no other choice but to introduce to Viper. And the second, well... let's just say he not only wants to get to know all of Willow, he also seems to be the type of man who doesn't want to play games. But what does she know? Her instincts about men have done her no favours of late. [Can be read as a stand alone]
