But with each gentle touch, each heated look, he’s starting to convince me that maybe I’m more than I’ve been led to believe. Ace.

Ever since, she’s all I’ve thought about. When I find out just who she is, I know I have to have her. My new life won’t start until she’s in it. I'll burn the world to keep her. less
