“You’re right, it is sad,” he agreed. He thought, fleetingly, of Jill. He couldn’t drum up a fraction of the emotion that was found in the picture. If he had loved her…well, in his way, he had. But it was gone, and the door had shut.
“I didn’t mean to bring us down,” Sarabeth said softly. “Let’s go look at something else.”
“I think I’m getting a sense of what you like in art,” Michael said. “Emotion.”
“Honest emotion,” she agreed. “A piece of artwork can be technically perfect, but that’s not enough in the end. A vase of flowers is one thing. A vase of flowers that look like they’re about to flutter in a breeze, that a petal is going to drop…that they were given by a lover to apologize for a misunderstanding…”
“It takes a lot of talent to create something like that.”
“It does. Talent, and—”
“Passion?”
He said it to tease her, but the word caught on his lips as it had on hers.
“Oh hell.”
He wasn’t sure which one of them swore.

About the Authors
Andrea Dale and Sarah Husch met in junior high. A mutual love of the written word, bad jokes, and the rock group Styx kept their friendship together through international moves, marriages, children, and general life mayhem. It was only a matter of time before they succumbed to writing fiction together.
Called a “legendary erotica heavy-hitter” (by the über-legendary Violet Blue), Andrea Dale writes sizzling erotica with a generous dash of romance. Her work—which has been called “poignantly erotic,” “heartbreaking,” and “exceptional”—has appeared in 20 year’s best volumes as well as about 100 other anthologies from Soul’s Road Press, Harlequin Spice, and Cleis Press. She finds passion in rock music, clever words, piercing blue eyes, the wind in her hair, and the scent of the ocean. Visit
