    Summary

    He told her once that she was the only editor who didn’t try to wring the wild out of him. She liked that. She would have told him to reuse the phrase in a column if she wasn’t selfish enough to keep it for herself.

    Langdon is the star columnist of popular wilderness adventure magazine The Backpacker. Mel is the editor who helps him stay that way.

    When Langdon starts blowing through deadlines and stops answering calls, Mel decides the best course of action is to meet him where he's at.

    “Cover what up?” Langdon tried, lamely, bringing a palm up to cover his neck.

    And this was allegedly the most prolific liar on staff? Ha.

    “That massive hickey that will make tonight Hell for you if you don't let me help."

    Summary

    “Do you know where you’re going?”

    She realized it was a ridiculous question as it passed her lips, but Langdon looked at her, his eyes a little glassy, and shook his head no.
