The smile dropped from her face as quickly as it had appeared. She felt the bed dip as he moved towards her. 
"Don't." His movements halted but he didn't sit back, he stayed suspended halfway between his wants and hers. She looked up to see him searching her face. She was pleading with her eyes to let this go. But he didn't seem to take the hint. Again, he began moving toward her. 
"Please," she begged desperately, "stop." He looked over her face one last time before laying back down with his back turned toward her.

Calpurnia moves through the days as they come. But when her childhood friend shocks her with a visit, things start changing, and she struggles to adapt.

My breathing was ragged, and my heart pounded wildly, a mixture of anger, confusion, and hurt churning inside me. "I didn't kiss her. She kissed me." A sarcastic laugh escaped me. "How nice for you!

"No." "What then? Am I not enough of a challenge for you anymore? Is that why you keep another girl around?" [Twelve years ago, she crashed her dad's car while trying to escape, nearly killing the love of her life in the process. Since then, a part of her has been lost. She promised herself that if they ever met again, she would never do anything to hurt him again even if that means, she has to pretend to be nobody in his life. But what if, despite her every attempt to push him away, he continually breaks down her walls? What if those very walls she built are what's keeping him alive? What if she makes a mistake once more, putting his life in danger? What if...]
