“I don’t trust easily, Cross. I’ve been hurt. And before you ask, no, I don’t want to talk about it now. But you . . . It’s like my heart knows I can trust you. And if it makes any sense at all, my brain knows it too. But man, the fear is still there. The fear is louder than everything else.” “Baby, you’ve got nothing to fear. Not from me. Never from me. I’m not that guy.”
