Jackson’s charm was irresistible. It was like being surrounded by puppies. You couldn’t not pet them.

“Talk to him. Don’t just let him drift away. If your relationship is going to end, you deserve to know why. Stand up for yourself, honey.”

I was a good girl. Good girls didn’t know how to act when being questioned about a murder.

“It’s easy to love someone when times are good. Real love is about holding on to one another when times aren’t.”
