Grim and Bear It (Stay a Spell, #6)

by Juliette Cross

Compelled to keep her safely away from the street, I guided her with a hand on her elbow so we could switch places on the sidewalk.

The only words that meant anything to motivate my current high-speed trace across town during the daylight were the ones she—needs—you. Clara was hurting, and she needed me. That’s all that mattered.

For fuck’s sake. Hold her? I’d burn the world for her.

“Everyone deserves another soul who matches them, to walk beside them through this world, to be their best friend and true lover.”
