Chapter 20 He Needs Her

• Hunter grabbed his iPhone and studied the screen, tracing his fingertip over Elle’s face, a picture he had snapped before she left for school months ago. He took it because he needed to see a real smile on her face, to capture that memory forever since he knew he’d never see it again.
• He was wrong. He did see it again. Last night. And he wants to see it every night from now on as she’s spread out before him in his bed.
• He spent his whole life wanting, pursuing, and claiming. He was tired of the chase, sick of always having to look over his shoulder.
