In the Gray

by B.B. Reid

“I want to give you shelter and be your peace. I want to take care of you, Dream.

“You temper this animal inside of me, Dream, but you match it, too. My obsession with you…it’s violent and ugly, but it’s real. You’re the most honest thing I’ve felt in a long time, and I’m begging you for one more chance. We can’t go back in time, but we can change our future. Ask me not to let you go again, and I promise I won’t.”

I need you to claim me too.”
