And a few months ago. When Lexie told her that it wasn’t just that Tori could convince people of things, but that she could force people t

things. And Lexie had only said that because — oh my gosh, that’s right — Tori ha

that Lexie tell her what she was thinking.

Tori felt her breath coming quicker but she couldn’t catch it, she couldn’t breathe. She kept trying to breathe, but the air just kept going in and out of her mouth without hitting her lungs and she couldn’t get a breath and—

The door opened and the policeman said something but Tori couldn’t catch his words and then he was pushing her head onto her knees and still talking and she thought she heard, “That’s it. Breathe.”

Tori gulped in air, then tried to slow down and get the blood to stop pounding in her head. It’s not possible. It simply wasn’t possible to live for twenty-seven years and not know…not make the connection.

She’d test it. Then she’d know. It wouldn’t work, and then she’d know her mother was right. There was no such thing as superheroes. No such thing as super powers.

Tori looked up at the cop. “I need some M&M’S. I went in for M&M’S and I need them, please.” She knew she was jabbering, but she had to know. “Please get me some.”

“Just take a deep breath and—”

She glared into his eyes, hoping and terrified and feeling very, very alone. Her gut burned with heat
.
“I need M&M’S! Please!”

The cop stopped in the middle of his sentence. He looked at her for a moment, then stood up and turned back toward the store. When he came back with every kind of M&M’S flavor the store sold, Tori fainted.

 

A Note
From Kitty

I hope you enjoyed readin
g
Little Miss Lovesic
k
as much as I enjoyed writing it! There’s something about laughter and romantic gestures that keep my romantic heart pounding. Just ask my husband!

If you enjoyed this book, check out my Adventures of Lewis and Clarke superhero urban fantasy series. The short story prequel, “
Superhero in Disguise
,” is the story of how Tori and Joe met on Halloween.
A Very Merry Superhero Wedding
is about their Christmas Eve wedding during a Christmastime crime spree. And
Unexpected Superhero
(officially book one in the series) tells the story of what happens when Tori finds out why she’s different.

About
the Author

Kitty Bucholtz grew up forty miles east of Traverse City, Michigan, the setting of this book. She went to college in Traverse City, met and married the love of her life, and waved goodbye to everything she knew when she and her husband John struck out for parts unknown.

Their adventures included going back to school, changing careers, and traveling Down Under. They spent three years in Sydney, Australia, where Kitty earned her M.A. in Creative Writing from University of Technology, Sydney, while John made a penguin named Mumble dance. Kitty now writes wherever John is working on a film.

Only God knows where they’ll wind up next — but they’re pretty sure it will be another cool chapter in their adventure!
