“Why’d you drop out of Yale, Alex?” I’m in uncharted territory, unsure whether to trust her when she clearly doesn’t trust me. “Why’d you lie about your parents?” Fresh tears pool on her lashes. I swipe them away with my thumb. “If I told you, you’d judge me for not telling you sooner. I can’t get close to you. Can’t trust you with my heart. We just won’t work together, Alex. I have to stay away from you, I just can’t find the strength to.” Welcome to my world.
