Stolen Summer

I should be traveling around Europe this summer.

Instead I’m held captive by a hot doctor.

My father has always been a controlling jerk, but shutting me away in some institute for ‘behavioral issues’? That’s a new low.

I don’t care if the head doctor is the most gorgeous man I’ve ever seen. No, I don’t care that his stern, clipped words make me shiver deep inside.

I’m not crazy, and I’m blowing this joint—letting it all burn as I go.

My father? Dead to me.
My future? Up in smoke.
The doctor? Well, he’s in on this sham. Isn’t he?

Except his gaze is so steady. His voice is so warm.

And maybe I’m not all alone.
