I just want to protect the people I love.
That's how I came under Steven's eye. The guy has a massive chip on his shoulder and he's rough and rude. He makes me like things I shouldn't, things I'm afraid I might just be wired to enjoy.
He might be more trouble than I can handle. I bet the average nice, safe eighteen-year-old doesn't have a restraining order out against him.
There are enough things I don't understand about my own life. I can't afford to play his games.
But now we've tangled once, he won't leave me alone. Won't give me any peace. He's started to change who I am, the choices I make, and there's nothing I can do about it.
I might have to try to uncover Steven's secrets, whether I like it or not. Staying in the dark is possibly the most dangerous place I can be.
