“How can you be so sure, Lolli Bear?” I whisper, swallowing past the lump threatening to clog my throat. “Because I see you in her eyes, just like you saw Nate in mine.” An unexpected, heavy chuckle leaves me, but for some reason, I stand, and her watery eyes shine with pride. “Make her see, Hero.”

It’s not lost on me that her entire body is covered twenty-four/seven, but I’m too afraid of what I’ll find if I look past the cashmere. Because, if it’s bruises I find, I honestly don’t know what I’ll do. But it won’t be good.

“Every time I think of you, I feel like I’m on the verge of a heart attack,” I admit. “My chest grows tight, and my airway swells. I get dizzy, helpless. I literally can’t breathe when it happens. Breaking into my skin helps bring me back. It’s the only control I have. It makes everything easier.”
Rachel Hager

I laid it out for Kenra today, told her what I wanted. I might end up worse off when this is over, but it’s a risk worth taking. Because I know who she wants, and it’s not Kellan. But she has to be brave enough to make us happen.
Rachel Hager
I'm so glad he's holding her accountable because he's right! He can't make this choice for her!
