(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.
