EXCERPT:
His confession
was terrifying, though welcoming all the same. Love wasn't something I embraced
because it could be a danger to the soul, even as it crushed the heart.
I tried to keep
my head forward; in fact, I remained still with my head tilted downward and
hands still clutching at the wheel. Teardrops blurred my vision as they tumbled
down one after the other.
"Please
leave, Knox," I mumbled in a coarse tone.
"I
can't," he replied, placing his palms against my car window. For all the
strength he'd shown from day to day, Knox couldn't hide his emotions this once.
"I love you more than anything, more than anyone else. I swear to you.
Open up. Let me prove it. Open up, Kash." He continued on in this way,
while the tears kept soaking up my face and tee shirt.
I lost count of
how often or how many pleas he made. But he must've known that he had me. His
declarations expanded my mind and sped up my heart. Not only had I fallen for
an incredible guy, I'd apparently captured his heart over the years. And now,
he was totally mesmerizing me with his words. Tiny sobs escaped through my
lips. I tried to stop the flow. It was useless. I gripped the steering wheel
and unlocked the door. Taking one final breath, I set aside my guard.
