  Summary

  She looks at him.
  Attention solely on nothing but his face.
  She hates it.

  A lie. Something to pull her focus away from what she’s really feeling—and it’s failing.

  The pure kindness in his expression is unbearable. The determination, the instinct to protect and somehow, it’s aimed at her of all people.

  …Why?

  When their views couldn’t be more different.
  When he believes in a world she can barely tolerate.

  He’s everything she wishes she could become.

  And everything she hates herself for wanting.
