Chapter 28

• Kane
• "What did Kane do? Why are they after his sweet girl?" The name he had for her felt heavy on his tongue. He hated when Kane called her that. She wasn't some naive little girl who needed him to take her under his wing. She was strong, capable, and that's why arguing with her was addictive, she gave just as good as she got. Kane paced back and forth a few times, his thoughts racing with all the things he wished he could say to his brother.
• "You know Kane used to look up to you. You were perfect, the perfect son our father could be proud of no matter what. You could control your temper, always had the right thing to say in any situation, and you treated Celeste like she was some porcelain doll that you were afraid his dirty hands would ruin." He laughed humorlessly, flicking the ash from the cigarette he swiped from Cruz on his way out to the graveyard.
