Matt Sturniolo sees Clara Ivers. He reads her. From her minuscule ticks to the dilation of her eyes. He doesn't have to think about it, hell he doesn't even realize it.

But something changes. Now, Matt knows not only the way her brain works, but how her body does too. The tiny little sounds she makes, the way her head rolls back and her eyes close. The agree to a "no strings attached" friends with benefits role. But Matt can't keep his mind clear. If he doesn't want anything more than physical with Clara, then why does he lose it every time anyone other than him has his hands on her?

"I messed up, okay? I know. I fucking know. But I can't get you out of my head. You're everything I see, everything I feel. Honestly, it's infuriating. The way you make me miss you, even after I said I didn't."
