“Repeat after me.” I stared at Bella, incredulity crossing my face as she lifted two fingers beside her cheek, almost as if she were swearing an oath. Before I could protest, she grabbed my wrist, raising my arm so my fingers mirrored hers. “I solemnly swear,” she said with absolute seriousness. “I solemnly swear,” I repeated, trying not to laugh. “To put myself first, above assholes who refuse to make their intentions clear.” That broke me.
