Is it considered kidnapping if they’re over six feet and could probably beat the shit out of most people who tried to take them? Abduction? Hm. I think I prefer calling it persuasion. It makes me sound a little less psycho than I know I’m acting.

Zander looks at me like I’m salvation, like he’s caught in the waves of the ocean and I’m reaching out my hand—safety, a lighthouse. I’ve never been anyone’s light.

“Only me. Do you get it? If I catch you with anyone else, I’ll fucking kill them.”

“I’m glad you came, Dimples.” That’s as close as I’ll get to an “I missed you” from him. I’ll take it.

I wasn’t meant for the dirt. I was meant for the sun. For his light. For his smile.

I’d burn the entire world down for Zander Braithe, and if I had to start with two assholes who thought they could hurt him, I’d roast fucking marshmallows over their bodies while they screamed.
