“The only time I really ever slept was when I’d escape here to see you,” I confess. Even as a child, something about Cade’s presence made me feel safe. When he was next to me, the bad thoughts couldn’t follow me into my dreams. I could get some rest. But only when I was with him. “Take the pain away,” he pleads, his voice breaking. There’s no more anger in his face, it’s all pain.
