Excerpt
Cliff steps toward me, his eyes soft. I hold open my arms
awkwardly. He passes the little girl to me. "Got her?" he asks, his
hand brushing mine.
The heat from his skin scorches mine, igniting a fuse that
threads through every one of my limbs. My pinky twitches toward his, wrapping
around his before I have the chance to stop myself. All I want to do is lean
into him, let him hold both Jimmy and me, let myself give in to the current.
But I know that if I do, I'll sink into him like a stone, falling too deep to
ever come back up for air.
Because when I love, I love with my whole heart, with every
inch of my marrow. And when I do, I forget who I am, lose sight of what's good
and what isn't. Love destroyed me, and I only barely put myself back together.
I'm still far too broken.
Cliff deserves better.
His pinky hooks around mine, squeezing for a heartbeat. Then
he releases me, relinquishing Jimmy into my arms. With devastation in his eyes,
he drops his gaze. Then he walks away, leaving me cold.
