“Always, Eden. With the men or without. Lie, kill, steal my every heirloom. Shatter my heart into a thousand pieces if you must, but you will always have a place at Bristlebrook.

“Stop gagging me,” I growl, and he smirks.

“Me too. I love you, or whatever.”

“Friendship application accepted. We can share our star charts later.” “Can’t wait. Now move—”
