"Maybe that's why my foster parents were so bad... they were easily persuaded by anyone who had the combination of a pretty face, charisma and spoke of world harmony. They let me go with her."
Edna James never had a lot of faith in the law. The law allowed her parents to keep her in their custody, the law allowed her family to forget her, and the law allowed her to be bounced between foster homes for years.
But the law also gave her Susannah, the only guardian that ever seemed to care about her. For a year, Edna had almost convinced herself that everything before had just been a dream. For awhile it worked, but that was until two Child Services agents showed up and told Edna she had to leave. Their reason? Underage parenting is a crime.

Caiden Evens isn't normal.
"You're so fucking insufferable Nathanael" He lets out a deep chuckle that sends tingles down my back. "That's hilarious coming from you." "What is your fucking problem with me?" I ask slightly pissed off but mostly confused. "What's my problem with you? You're a hotheaded, loudmouth, annoying prick." He steps closer to me with every word. "Yeah, well you're just a condescending, egotistical, full of yourself, little bitch." He walks so close he's between my legs as I'm still seated on the counter, and the distance between us is all I can think about. "I hate you so much Evens." He breathes out, the warmness of his breath fanning over my lips. "The feeling's mutual, Rivers." Our eyes never break contact, and a suffocating silence takes over the little distance between us. His eyes flick down to my lips and then back up to my eyes. Before I can speak his hands grab my waist and pull me closer to him.
