"Sydney!" he bellows.

I fumble for the buttons, but before I can find the right one, I feel a hand clamp around my ankle. Deckard hasn't stayed down. He yanks my leg, and I go crashing to the floor. My forehead hits the hardwood with a sickening thud, and for a second, the world turns into a kaleid

    "Owen... you need to cut yourself some slack," she says gently, reaching up to lightly brush her thumb against my cheekbone. "You don't have to be the invincible counselor right now. You just lost your mom, honey. I know how much she meant to you. I know how much you loved her, and I know how hard y

    I watch Sydney walk away from me, her spine perfectly straight, her head held high like a queen marching out of a ruined kingdom. Her words—sharp, icy, and dripping with disgust that makes my skin crawl—still echo in the quiet space of the dining room. "While you're busy playing love and playing h

    I sit on the edge of the mattress, the silence of my locked bedroom pressing in from all sides.

    "You saw it, Deckard! You stood there and saw that... that woman strike me!" Gia screams, her voice hitting a pitch that vibrates in my teeth.
