Our gang was a motley crew of misfits, all of us driven by greed and a thirst for power. But Grayson and I were different. We had been friends since childhood, and we had each other's backs. And then there was Addison, the only one among us who was truly selfless. She only wanted freedom, and didn't care about our wealth.

Whatever came next, I knew we would face it together. I closed my eyes and let myself drift, held between the two of them, the sound of the waves outside and the steady beat of their hearts under my palms.
