Chapter 67

• I spent the entire afternoon tangled up in Vanessa. The hours slipped through my fingers like smoke—weightless, meaningless. Neither of us had eaten. Hell, I wasn’t even sure I’d taken a breath that mattered.
• It wasn’t hunger that gnawed at me—it was something darker. Desire. Guilt. Restlessness.
• Vanessa lay beside me, curled into my side, her skin warm against mine. She looked up at me with that expression that once made me feel invincible. But now… now it just made me feel trapped.
