Landon & Shay: Part One (L&S Duet, #1)

by Brittainy C. Cherry

I studied him. Not just the words he was saying, but how he was moving. How his fingers fidgeted. How his crooked smile frowned. Greyson’s words floated through my head as I looked at Landon. He’s the kind of sad you only notice if you look closely enough. His eyes. His beautiful, sad eyes. His eyes were heavy and miserable, filled with a story he was too terrified to tell. He kept something to himself. His hurts? His pain, maybe? His truths? I wanted to know more about those parts of him. I wanted to study the angles he kept hidden from the world. I wanted to know about the boy I hated and why he hated himself even more. I was absolutely certain there was no one who hated Landon as much as he hated himself, and that idea alone made me feel bad for him. Not pity him…but just…feel bad. He had to be the most complex character I’d ever crossed as a storyteller, and I’d have been lying if I said I wasn’t intrigued by the idea of seeing how his story would unfold.
