Chapter 34

• She pictured Luther’s face… not the professor in a suit, but the man in his apartment, the man whose eyes held such a fierce, protective spark. He’d hate her forever if he found out she betrayed him like this.
• “But if I don’t…”
• She pictured the alternative: the explicit photos of them together plastered across the internet. Her mother would find out. The shock would devastate her. Her step-father, Richard, wouldn't just be angry; he would use this against her, against her mother, perhaps even kicking them out. She’d be expelled from school. Luther would be fired anyway when the photos went public.
