Chapter 47 Shared Secrets

• Rachel POV
• I slid into Jeremy’s SUV, the cool air conditioning hitting my warm skin, and closed the door with a soft click. My heart was still racing, like I’d just run a marathon, the weight of Cody’s hug — my father — still clinging to me, like a memory I wasn’t sure I wanted to keep.
• Jeremy was there, his moss-green eyes locked on me, a mix of relief and worry dancing across his face. The afternoon sun glinted off the hood, and the scent of new leather mixed with his cologne and cigarette smoke wrapped around me, pulling me back to my safe harbor.
