I hoped he’d be different. It seemed like he was. Carter Ross swept into my life and I didn’t say no. But this time, I didn’t want to. His walls are up so high, but I can see the cracks. And in all his darkness, he can’t stop the light from seeping through. When he leaves—I’ll be the one to break...
