(LILA'S POV)

I didn't know what to make of Quinn anymore. Every time I thought I had him figured out, he surprised me. It wasn't just the fact that he was willing to risk his life for me. It wasn't even the fact that I wanted him to. It was how damn close we were.

Closer than I ever wanted to be.

I couldn't let myself need him. Not when we were this deep in it.

But no matter how hard I tried to convince myself to pull away, it became harder every time we shared a breath in the same space.

There was something between us now, something stronger than hatred, something heavier than whatever we'd been before.

And I was terrified.

Terrified of the pull, terrified of what would happen when everything came crashing down. When the truth finally came to light.

I didn't know what Quinn was running from. I didn't know what ghosts he had buried, or what secrets he was hiding. But I could feel them, his past, his pain, etched into every move he made.

And I was afraid that when the truth came out, it would shatter everything.

But as I stood there, watching him move silently ahead of me, I knew one thing for certain.

I wasn't going to be able to walk away this time.
