“I’m not saying Beckett isn’t kind. He is. I’ve heard all about the amazing work he’s done bringing medical care to underserved communities. But kind isn’t the way he looks at you. It was all protective with an edge of I want to kiss the life out of her.”

“Any time you start to believe those lies, you come to me. I’ll tell you the truth.” I swallowed against the burn in my throat. “Okay.” I dipped my head so that we were eye-to-eye. “Anytime you start taking on the weight of the world, you come to me. I’ll remind you to set it down.”
