Burning with the ache of rage, she turned around and grabbed the very first man she saw outside.

Morgan.” he drawled and I folded my arms “I can follow any rules as long as it doesn't intrude on my privacy.” I replied and he scoffed. “Rule number one, drop that attitude. I will not tolerate you being all sassy with me. Rule number two, you are to put on an act in front of my parents, but don't get too touchy with me. And the last but most important rule is this, NEVER FALL IN LOVE WITH ME!” He spelled it out, his eyes locked with mine. “Sure, I will abide by your rules, Mr. Finn.
