Goldfinch (The Plated Prisoner, #6)

by Raven Kennedy

When she comes stomping out, she’s got an armful of clothes that she shoves into my chest. “I need a bag.” I glance down at the huge pile and start counting all the pieces. “This is too much shit, woman.” She gives me a look so chilling it might actually make my balls shrivel. I clear my throat. “I meant, I’ll make this shit fit.”

“Oh, Goldfinch. My love for you consumes every part of my soul. It’s in every word, every movement. With each morning that dawns and every night that falls. You are completely mine, and I am yours, and that is all I ever need in this life and all the others.” I kiss her forehead, tears burning in my eyes. “I love you, Auren.”

Auren was always too bright for Orea. When you’re surrounded by jealous shadows, all they want to do is put you out.
