They All Had A Reason: A rumor. A secret. A lie. A murder. (They All Had A Reason, #1)

by Michele Leathers

The front pocket of Ace’s shirt, the one he had his phone stuffed in earlier is ripped and hanging by a few threads. I wonder if maybe he caught it on the fence when he was ditching the cops.

“Don’t worry. I only act this way at funerals. They’re just too serious for me. I hope I haven’t offended you.”

“Actually, I think I needed that. I haven’t laughed in a long time .

Quenton’s

you mean quentin’s?

a terrible man.” Wade nods his understanding. “I guess when you spend enough time around a person, you eventually see their true colors.”

I bury my face in his neck and he holds me tight. No matter what happens, I don’t think I’ll ever stop loving him. Even if we part ways one day, I’ll never be able to forget how I feel about him right now.

I’m in control of my decisions in life, regardless of other people’s actions.

From now on, I hope to always follow my heart, just like Grandma taught me. She taught Mom this same principle. And one day, I hope to teach it to my own daughter and granddaughter.
