Chapter 42

• Caden held his breath. What could he possibly say to Ruby? She was probably not even going to remember any of this the next day.
• She continued looking into his eyes, and the more she looked, the faster his heart paced.
• All of this time he had never believed it to be real. He never thought she truly like him. It could be mere attraction—maybe due to the attention he showered her. But this was more than that. He could see it on her face. He could feel it in her words. Now, she sat in front of him, her soul bared and speaking her heart out. Ruby would never tell him any of that if she was sober. She’d rather fail a hundred tests.
