The way he always spoke for Kye made it seem like she accepted him or something. Somehow she’d forgotten what he had don
AVAIt was official that I now hated hospitals. And all it took to get me to hate it were three trips. And this was Kye’s second one.They’d taken him in an hour ago and there was still no word from anyone about him.His gunshot wound hadn’t even healed yet and he was under the knife again. And all
KYEOf course I chose her. I wasn’t stupid enough to let Dylan touch her because I couldn’t make a decision. But I also didn’t shoot her father. I shot at my uncle instead. And this time I didn’t have to think much about it. All except the risk that the bullet could hit Ava, or that Dylan could mov

ALEXANDERThe second I saw her in that hospital bed, I knew I’d been lying to myself for years. I was certain I didn’t love this woman anymore—at least, that’s what I’d told myself every day since she left. But now? Watching her lying there, pale and unmoving? I felt a stab of something so raw, it m
RAINAThe pounding in my head made it hard to think, like my skull was caught in a vice. I tried to lift my hand to ease the ache, but… I couldn’t.
