“Vander, please.” Tipping her chin up, she stares at me with tears in her eyes. “Please forget about me and find someone else.” I shake my head. “It won’t happen. I can’t tell my heart how to feel.” Taking her hand, I place it over my chest, hoping she can feel the steady thrumming of my heart. “This is yours, Kendall, whether you want it or not. It doesn’t matter if you don’t claim it, it will always beat only for you.”
