Heart Bones

by Colleen Hoover

Fun fact that has nothing to do with this scene: I roofed houses for a summer with my uncle Mike when I was sixteen. I handled it pretty well until he roofed a three-story house. When I got to the top, my legs stopped working. I couldn't move. I had never felt fear like that in my life, so I think I'm afraid of heights. I spent that particular project doing what I could to help him from the ground.
