Hostile

by Nicole Dykes

I watch in awe. I never thought this was possible. That a broken kid whose parents didn’t want him could find so much damn love in this ugly world. Who couldn’t just have it but could also give it back, but that’s what Grayson has done for me. He’s shown me love. Hell, he wouldn’t take no for an answer and loved me through all my anger and bitterness until I had no choice but to love him back.

Because when you’re offered love, even if you don’t trust it at first—when they show you over and over again they love you, you just have to accept it.
