Book excerpt: Hatori is flying high after Rita kisses her at the fireworks show, and even Adachi’s early return can’t bring her down—after all, Rita seems to be seriously torn, which surely means that Hatori has a fighting chance! But when the saintlike Adachi catches wind of their affair and is forced to confront the possibility of losing Rita for good, will she be able to practice what she preached and let him go with a smile?
