The Lost Necklace

Ned is smart, kind, and has his life laid out in front of him. He knows what he wants and how to get it. Ned, he makes me think of order and goodness. But Travis, he is bad, wild, and has a way of making me want to love him. When I'm with him I want to break the rules, my blood starts to pump and my body starts to heat up.

'Lacy, I'm not going to make you live like me. I'm not going to make you break the rules, or forget order. But I sure as hell ain't going to stop you. You chose your life, you chose who you want to love, not some stupid necklace. I'm not the lovey dovey type, but Lacy Jennings, I'm falling for you. All of you.'

I can still hear the words he said to me. It's things like this that make me think he's the one I'm going to choose at the Choosing Ceremony.
