Truly Madly Deeply (Forbidden Love, #1)

by L.J. Shen

“Why’d you decide to take up running again?” Row asked when we were going up the stairs to the second floor (his butt was twelve out of ten, by the way). “My dad bullied me into it. Made it his last wish. Can you believe it?” I grumbled. “Guilt-tripping me beyond the grave. That’s some next-level helicopter parent shit.” Row made a hmm sound. He didn’t know what had happened to me that day. Even Dylan wasn’t privy to the entire story. “What’s so terrible about running?” “I kind of have PTSD.” We ambled along the colossal hallway of the second floor, where he showed me the nursery, the guest room, and the laundry room. “From doing something healthy?” he taunted. “From running.” “Why?” “It reminds me of a very nasty injury…and a situation I never want to be in again.” “You won’t be,” he said decisively, stopping by the double doors of the master bedroom. “Know what you are?” “What am I?” I had a feeling whatever he was going to say was going to change my life, so I had to listen carefully. “Beef Wellington.” Okay, maybe not. “I’m not following.”
