"What do you want to talk about?" he asks, walking up to me. "Stuff. Important stuff." "I'm not going back to Fremont, so you might as well save your breath." "I know." I glance at him. "We need to have a serious talk." I'm gathering enough courage to be honest with Vic about everything. I already feel like I've held too much back. I'm going to put it all out there and tell Vic how I feel. Even if it pushes him away. Liam The soft illumination from the streetlights streaming in through the frosted garage windows provides just enough light to make out what Kierra's wearing. I'm trying to ignore the fact that we're alone. I have no clue why she came here or what she wants. Whatever it is, I have to stay unemotional and detached. I'm not about to drag Kierra into my f****d-up life.
