Lifesong (2012)
“I waited for Tucker’s words from earlier to dribble down the drain, through the pipes and under the house until they were gone. The words were still there, playing in the back of my mind.
I pressed my palms against the shower wall and did whatever I could to keep them flat. It didn’t do a damned thing for my foul mood, especially when I knew he was sitting right outside the bathroom door.
It was the first time I sort of wished I was back at the ward, in my cell without the company of others. At... least then I’d been able to keep my thoughts straight without someone else influencing them. I couldn’t understand why he was so willing to give up on everything, to give up on all of this, just so I could have another chance at love later on.
“I don’t want a second chance,” I snarled as tears pricked at the backs of my eyes.
I preferred this life, the life I had, over some other life I’d have as a guardian. And even then, according to Tucker, I’d fall in love, only to have to give up on it yet again.MoreLess
