Chapter 28 The Fight

• Clea met Tyler when she was thirteen and he was fifteen. Her father used to deal drugs and he had dropped by their house to buy some. He had been a scrawny, pale, teenage boy whose face looked like it was tired from having to carry all of the world's problems on it.
• Clea looked like that at the time too. She had noticed the similarities between them. Scrawny; check. Pale; check. Rugged hair; check. Depressed face; check.
• He stood around the walkway, while Clea sat at the porch playing with stones. He ignored her until she spoke to him.
