Inferno

<p>When I stepped on that flight to Rome I never could have imagined the man sitting across the aisle from me would tilt my world on its axis.</p><p>He claimed it was fate that brought us together.</p><p>But I never believed in such notions.</p><p>That was something for the dreamers the romantics not someone as practical and pragmatic as I.</p><p>Fate had nothing to do with me walking in on my soon-to-be husband in a compromising position with his secretary.</p><p>Fate had nothing to do with me hopping on a plane to Rome effectively standing up my former fiancé on our wedding day.</p><p>And fate certainly had nothing to do with the handsome stranger sitting across the aisle from me one who would open my mind and heart to things I never thought possible.</p><p>Because if fate is real she's cruel and unforgiving.</p><p>I thought I'd left my past behind when I stepped onto that plane. </p><p>I was a fool to think I could ever truly escape my past. </p><p>Not when it's so viciously intertwined with my present.</p>
