Brooklyn's hand found my shoulder, her touch a signal of solidarity and a prelude to the battles we would face together.

As I mentally prepared myself for the onslaught to come, I couldn't help but wonder, Can I say FUCK now? I mean, in my head.

Even if he had to turn the entire world upside down, he would find her. But the moment he burst through the front doors, a line of bodyguards blocked his way.

How could you treat her like that?"

But before Miles and Claudia could respond, the police officers who were here with me moved in and cuffed them both on the spot. Due to the overwhelming media presence and the scale of public attention, the two of them were forced to admit their crimes in front of the cameras.
