Excerpt #2:

A blink later, Dane realized that he and Avery were standing close together inside a
windowless room that was completely dark. His heart rate spiked, causing his pulse to
begin pounding in his ears. As the faint odors of cleaning solutions began filling his
nose, he realized that he had brought Avery into the community center's little supply
closet.
            "Dane? Oh, Dane?" Mrs. Foster's voice crescendoed as she reached the
hallway. She could be heard scuttling past the closed door of the supply closet as she
continued down the corridor. "Dane, where did you go? We really must discuss the
proper shade of green for the napkins!"
            Mrs. Foster's footsteps and voice echoed away, and then everything got quiet.
            Extremely quiet. 
            Neither Dane nor Avery moved or said a word. Dane's respirations caught
somewhere in his throat as the total darkness seemed to thicken around them. Though
he couldn't see, his other senses suddenly heightened exponentially. He felt the
tempting heat of Avery's nearness, and he could hear her softly breathing. He smelled
the intoxicating aroma of her vanilla lotion, which caused his mind to spin. His body
tingled with the desire to reach out and take Avery's hands in his.
