Anything for You
“His pulse kicked up. Delaney. It had to be Delaney.He opened the door to find his mother standing on the doorstep. As he took in her stiffly styled blond hair and her face set in its habitual expression of tense resignation, he decided that the cosmos really was, indeed, out to get him.
