1 " Cody throws an arm around my shoulders, nearly knocking me off my stool. "Come on, lightweight. I'll take you home."I shove his arm off me. "I don't put out on the first date."A laugh that's half snort, half giggle falls from Shyann's lips and seems to catch her by surprise."After all those beers I bought you?" Cody feigns insult.

I lick my lips and force the words from my mouth no matter how pathetic they make me sound. "You're impossible to walk away from. "
9 " Gage hasn't always been my curse. Most of the time, he's been my savior. "
10 " There's something about him that's impossible to walk away from. Like an injured boy being held captive by his abuser "
11 " There are hearts big enough to love those who are different than them, who are hard to understand. "
12 " I've promised him honesty and then tucked tail when I should've just talked openly about what I've learned. "
