The empty bottle lay on the floor; Bobbi Cochran was sprawled out right beside it, feeling the life slowly seep out of her body. Bobbi closed her eyes as the memory of that terrible day tried to invade her thoughts. That was then, this is now, she thought, looking around the crowded plane that was preparing for takeoff.

He knew he had every woman he came in contact with figured out to a science; that was until he crossed paths with a woman named Bobbi Cochran. She made everything he had known and grown so accustomed to, no longer make sense.
