And he definitely doesn’t expect the universe to shove them together again…and again... moreHe was supposed to cover the story. Not become the center of it.

Suddenly, I’m seeing cracks in his perfect armor. I’m learning that the ice in his eyes might just be a defense mechanism—one that I’m dangerously close to shattering.
