"Did he think that he was gold?” I yelled suddenly and sat down. “I don't want to know anything from him, but I just need to because of my plan. Tsk! He is acting like he i

“I want honesty, and that’s something I haven’t gotten in a while.” His eyes came back to me and stayed there for a long time, studying my face like he could see words in bold ink across my skin. He tilted his head slightly before he released a sigh. “Trust is like glass. It takes time to heat and temper, to make it transparent for both parties to see through.

I only ended up like this because I believed in the promises you two made." Cameron froze. His lips trembled.
