“If you don’t take your hands off me in the next three seconds, Easton Sinclair, I will show you what ruining someone’s life really looks like. Do not underestimate the damage I can do with this pretty smile.”
I’m not one to be interested in things that don’t excite me, but something about how real she looks up there is fucking with me.
“You can’t smoke in here! It’s a freaking fire hazard.” “Let’s be honest, Sage. I’m a fire hazard,” I joke, but it doesn’t land the way I want. Tough crowd.
“Because when you give the people here genuine pieces of who you are, they blend them up and drink it down with their morning breakfast. They will stomp out every hope you’ve ever had. When Ponderosa Springs learns your secrets, it holds you captive forever. There is no getting out, and I am not letting that happen.” I’d be lying if I said her answer didn’t shock me.
There are only two people who can look the pits of hell in the eyes and not flinch. Those in Hell and those who already made their way out.
And that’s what Lucifer saw when he was cast out of Heaven. The green of our planet before entering the flames of Hell. The story behind Rook’s catastrophic nickname ties into him more and more.
“You wanna take the mask off?” He picks up his helmet, pushing it towards me, the cool material pressing into my stomach. “Then take me to the place you hate most in the world, and I’ll show you how to make it choke on the ashes of the girl they left to burn.”
“I missed you, too,” I snicker, my voice raw and scratchy. “I did miss you. It’s just…” he whispers softly. “Can I keep you?” And my soul breaks because of it.
He laughs and he smiles. He jokes and literally has a higher GPA than me. He hates the rain but loves the fog it leaves because it reminds him of smoke. He hates when I write on the inside of his cigarette packs, but I catch him smirking when he reads them.
