Hexed (Never After, #6)

by Emily McIntire

“I don’t have to know you to see the same thing in your eyes that lives in mine, and I get the distrust, and the walls, and the being constantly on guard. I respect it. But I promise you don’t have to do that with me. Just be real, okay?”

Because fuck her if she thinks I’ll allow her to disappear with another man on her arm when she came here with me.

“In a different life…” I pause, emotion suddenly clogging my throat. “I’d love you out loud.”

I take you back out there, and I show you how good we can be in this life, not a different one.”

whenever I look at her, whenever I think about her, I feel the same way I did when I was a kid, wishing I had true love.
