MADDIE SITS ACROSS FROM me at Colby's, with her jaw practically on the floor and a very angry scowl on her face. I didn't want to tell her. As much as I love her and trust her with my life, I didn’t want her to know. She already never liked Topher as it is, but this—this may drive her to commit murder. “I'm going to kill him.” Yep, there it is. “Mads, stop. It’s not worth it.” She scoffs. “Not worth it? S, he fucking hit you!”
