I was trained to hold the line.
To keep my hands steady.
To never let my heart interfere with my judgment.
I can survive trauma.
I can survive pressure.
I'm not sure I can survive him.
Knox Steel wasn't part of the plan - and neither was the way he makes everything else disappear. He's a coach with his own scars. I'm the surgeon who built her life on control.
We were supposed to keep our distance.
To stay on the sidelines of each other's lives.
Instead, we're breaking rules.
And I'm learning the hard way that some falls don't come without consequences.
