With water to my neck, I turn the faucet off and can hear Danny splashing next door. “Are you done with your legs, too?” I ask him teasingly.
“Just finishing up the bikini area. Do you prefer a heart, or something a little more exotic?” he shoots right back, making me giggle.
“What does bottle five say for you?”
“Let’s see.” I hear glass clinking together. “It says . . . place on face for ten minutes. When dry, rinse off, and apply jar six. This is getting kind of ridiculous. I’ve never had to do this shit before,” Danny says.
“We’ll see what we look like when we’re done. My skin feels so smooth.”
“Yeah, mine too. I’m a facial away from losing my man card. Oh wait, that’s jar five. There it went, flying off to some well-deserving guy who’s eating a raw steak and roping a steer down the street. I may have to move to Mexico to get it back. How do you feel about matadors?”
I burst out laughing as I apply the goopy mess in my jar six to my face.
“You can restore your card later. I’m sure there will be food to shovel and beer to belch.” “You don’t get the man card credo. It’s an application process, Kinley. After all of these products, it could be months before I’m worthy again,” he explains.
“That’s terrible. I had no idea all it took was a few little jars.”
“Don’t underestimate the power of a good facial. I’m never living this down . . . I think this is avocado.”
“Are you eating it? Danny!” I yell through my laughter.
“It’s good fats, Kinley. Remember? Anyway, it’s all your fault,” Danny decides.
“How do you figure?”
“Well, I’m only in here to be close to you. This should show you how committed I am,” Danny informs me.
“Thank you for sacrificing your manhood to show me you care. That means a lot,” I joke.
I hear Danny sniff indignantly before he says, “As long as you value my surrender, it’s all worth it.”
Fate's Mistake is a heartwarming story of hope and learning to trust again.
Kinley has suffered at the hands of the man she fell in love with. The one who was supposed to be her forever. Then he started controlling and hitting her. How can she escape?
"I am ashamed of the person I have become, I don't fight, because he'll hurt me worse. I just let it happen, over and over. I have to get out of here. Soon."
Danny, is he perfect hero that has a lot weighing on his shoulders. Without knowing her, he offers his help, support and a shoulder to cry on. I swear he has the kindest heart.
"Did you know he was going to hit you when you married him," he asks.
This is an extremely real and emotional story. The book was just an amazing journey, and was by far one of the most emotional I have read in a long time.
Brandace captured my heart with Fate’s Mistake. She is an amazing writer, truly a brilliant mind.
