Book excerpt: Palpitations, sweaty palms, insomnia, bi-polar extremes...the love bug is quite the bitch. So is the inability to stay away when you know better. Call it weakness or stupidity, call it anything but wrong. Dormancy, remission, whatever, Dawn and Marvin hadn't come down with this ailment for the longest time. How'd they relapse? Who knows. Some things have no causation, only the soul version of predisposition. Two factors were Dawn coming back to town for a visit and Marvin having never left. More factors were Dawn's nose for bad decisions, her hair of cascade, her wild soul, all that. That Renaissance body. Marvin's eye for all that. Also his passion for sculpture, his librarian-next-door-ness, and their back story coming to the front Let's see if they take proper precautions or embrace temptations like making that phone call, skinny dipping in the rain, throwing caution into the wind, and going that extra smile to forego all costs to remedy what ails them.
