"Clara," Owen murmured, his lips brushing my ear. I closed my eyes. "Have I ever been mean to you? Hurt you...? No. Maverick is trying to get rid of me. He's jealous."

This is my job. I let Owen press me into the tree and kiss me. ▪︎●▪︎ Clara's past has left her with scars that run deep, making her hesitant to trust anyone.
