A Twisted Arrangement (Twisted Vows, #2)

by Jessa Wilder

want her attention back on me. I want to know everything about her, so I ask, “If you could choose, what would your future look like?” Tears pool at the corner of her eyes. “If I got out, I wouldn’t even think about settling down until I’m twenty-five. No men, no expectations, no commitment. Complete freedom.” My chest clenches because I want to give that to her. Rage boils in my stomach, knowing I won’t be able to see it happen. Knowing that even if I find a way to get her and my brothers out of here, there’s no escaping for me. If Damon does show up and all of us die, I swear I’ll get her out first. I’ll grant her wish before those bastards get to kill me. I’ve come to terms with dying. It’s enough to know she’ll be free. “Oh yeah? Then what?” I want her to tell me everything so I can survive on the thoughts of her when she’s out of here. She turns to me with a genuine smile. “Then I’ll find a guy, get married, and have a half dozen kids. Live in an eggshell-blue house with white trim and a wood shake roof. With a wraparound porch and a tire swing hanging from a tree. I want to be chased around my backyard by jelly-covered faces. Is that too much to ask?”
