His death left me broken—destroyed.
It wasn’t the incident alone. I was already damaged beyond repair by the events leading to that moment. But seeing his lifeless body only sealed my fate. So many mistakes. So much regret.
Dex wants to know what happened that night. He wants to catch a killer and put my demons to rest. I'm just not sure I can trust him after the lies he told to get close. I’m wary... guarded. Still, I’ll welcome him to my world and lead him into the darkness.
He’ll see me for what I truly am. But I’m not the only one keeping secrets. And maybe…
The truth will set us all free.

This is it. This is the pivot line. He either accepts me or he walks away.
I've never met someone filled with so much darkness that still managed to shine so bright. Like a moth to a flame, Firebird. I'm yours.
Because pushing people away and being alone is the easy thing to do. Staying around, depending on someone and having them depend on you, that's the hard stuff. You make me want to work for this, Maddie. You're the only woman I've met that's made me want to try and stick it out.
"I'm not the religious type. I believe there's a higher power, but I don't think anyone on earth is truly capable of understanding what that is. I think we all grasp at straws and believe the most convenient lies. Lies that feel comfortable, whether it's ingrained from birth or, like a true rebel, you choose it on your own. It's like those scientists who theorize that there's another dimension, but we can't perceive it because our minds are too limited. We just aren't advanced enough to understand or comprehend the truth.
So, God, Buddha, Allah - whatever you want to call him or her - he's not a being. It's a force beyond comprehension. But there's one thing that I do believe: love is as close as we can humanly get to it."
