I kiss her fingers savagely. Her sigh falls out of her like buried treasures I want to unearth one by one. If I had to pick someone to parade through my nightmares and drag me out of my darkness, I don’t think my heart could have stumbled on a better choice. I tug Kenya close. She trembles in my grasp and I love that she can’t hide how much I affect her. “I need to tell you one more thing.” “Okay,” she whispers.
