Finding Mafia

"Mysterious." She smirks. "Now if that's all you need you may go." Riley goes to walk past me, but instead I grab her forearm, pulling her towards me as she gaps.

We both stand, neither of us moving. I still hold her with my hand. Our arms are brushing up against one another as we stay. Neither of us pulling apart.

She brings her gaze up to meet mine as she waits for me to say something. Her lips part and my name passes through. "Declan."

---------------------------------------------

Riley has had a tough life. She never had an easy childhood and it only got worse as it followed her into adulthood. Now, as she finally escapes those who kept her captive, she only seems to fall into more danger.

Torn between starting a new life and staying to continue her old one with her best friend, Riley must make a choice. But nothing goes as planned as she meets a new, interesting group of people. Her world is turned upside down once again, but she can't decide if it's for the best or not.
