He hates it all.
One night is all it takes for everything to change. It causes Carter to notice Reece in a way she's not all that comfortable with. What will happen to these two, who come from totally different worlds? Houston, I think we have a problem.

His Sunshine | ✓

"No. Stop," She cuts me off sternly but tenderly, "Don't talk like that, Reece. I'm okay, you're okay, we're okay," She speaks softly, reaching her hand up to gently brush her thumb over my cheek, just under the cut that's there. "We're okay," I repeat, taking a small step closer to her. She nods with a small smile, moving her hand down from my cheek and instead placing the palm of her hand on my chest, right over my heart.
