THE ATTRACTION OF DOUBT
I shake my head, unable to accept what he’s saying so easily.
— You want me to agree with you? To believe that all this is inevitable?
He steps closer, and every move he makes pins me in place.
— No, Claire, he breathes, his voice strangely intimate. I don’t ask you to agree with me. But I want you to understand. Because the more you try to run from the truth, the more it will catch up to you, and then, it will be too late.
Too late.
His gaze is burning, piercing, and I feel a shiver run through me. It’s not just fear. It’s more than that. It’s attraction, the dizzying pull of standing so close to him, at the edge of the precipice.
