Conflict Of Hearts
Dylan lightly touches my chest, over my heart.
—I’ll be here, helping you heal this.
I take a deep breath, feeling the weight of the upcoming conversations I’ll have.
—I just need the courage to explain everything to Theo.
—He’s smart. He’ll understand.
I’m at home, recovering from the gunshot wound Beck gave me. The house is quieter than ever. I miss her and Theo, even if I don’t admit it. But now, there’s no turning back. I made my decision, and I’ll stick with it.
