Kill Switch (Devil's Night, #3)

by Penelope Douglas

She wanted me even with what my father did to her? Her husband wanted me anyway?

I still didn’t want her walking through this world without me. I didn’t want to miss anything. For that reason, maybe I regretted doing what I did.

“What was that?” Winter asked. I dumped my phone in the console and shifted the car into gear. “Someone liked the shit I built at your house,” I replied. “Wanted me to make a tree house and fountain for their property.” “And you said no?” “I don’t have time for that,” I shot back. “I need to get a job and figure out what we’re doing.” And then I paused, my back straightening and understanding dawning on me. “Ohhhhh.” “Yeah, dumbass!” she screeched.

it’s funny seeing him tryna live a normal life lol

“We’re going to rule the world, Rika.” I held out my hands, grinning. “You, Banks, and me.”

We can hide. Together. If she wants.

the annoying sting of the cut is suddenly gone. Just gone. Like a kill switch.

“Let’s do this,” she says, taking off the rosary and then unclipping the silver jeweled barrette from her hair. She takes both and sets them up on the little alcove under the upper bowl, hiding them in the niche there. “Since it’s our secret hiding place,” she tells me with an excited look in her eyes. “It’s like part of us is always here. In our spot.”

oh my god. how sweet.

I wish we never had to leave the fountain. We never did.
