Excerpt
When he spoke, his voice
sounded strange even to his own ears. “I’m afraid of myself.”
“Why?”
“Because... because I’m a monster.”
“What? No you’re not.”
“Yes, I am.” Trey lowered his arms to his
side. “I’ve done things. Terrible things. You don’t know. Everything I touch, I
destroy. It’s why they won’t let me come home. And it’s why you should get away
from me. I’m sick.”
“Whatever happened in the past, it’s over
now,” Sarah said. “I don’t care about any of it. I know you’re a good man. I’ve
seen it. I can feel it. You can’t say or do anything to change my mind.
And I’m not going anywhere.”
“I don’t want to hurt you.” The words were
a broken whisper, a plea to the darkness inside.
“Then don’t.” She touched his arm, prompting
him to turn and face her.
Trey gazed down into her sweet face, his
emotions all tangled inside. “It’s not so simple.”
“Yes it is.” She rose up on her toes and
kissed him.
Everything else disappeared except for the
feel of her lips pressed to his. The anxiety. The fear. The anger. All gone. It
was the purest moment of peace he’d ever known. He pressed his hands against
her back, drawing her body closer as the kiss deepened.
