~ JESSE ~
Rake's words washed over me and made me screw up my face because they weren't what I wanted to hear. I wanted to hear reassurance that I shouldn't even fear that Cazz would cheat. I wanted to hear that I was too strong, or too beautiful, or too valuable for that to happen.
But at the same time my stomach pinched because he hadn't said that, I was also grateful because it meant he was telling me the truth.
The truth was that Cazz might betray me. And if he did… if he did, that was going to hurt more than anything I'd ever experienced, I thought. But even if he didn't… it didn't mean that we were coming out of this with a happy ever after.
