I should never have jumped that fence, and I most definitely should never have kissed her. 

Living on the streets, I had to make some hard decisions to stay alive. I signed a contract with the devil, and because of that, I choose to live alone. 

But after listening to my neighbors fight every night for years, it's finally gotten to me. Now I've gone and done it - I've broken my only rule-never get involved. 

I want to save the beautiful woman next door with the sad eyes from his abuse. I want to take her away from all of this, but what do I have to offer when my hands are stained with the sins I've committed? 

How can I offer a broken woman peace and safety when those two things don't exist in my world?
