The Sweetest Oblivion (Made, #1)

“And why would it be such a bad idea?” I didn’t look at her, but I felt her sad smile. “Because you’ll fall in love with her,” she said. “And she won’t love you back.”

“Lust will be the death of us.” —Unknown

Without hope, there’s nothing to lose. With it, we’re nothing but dominos waiting to fall.
