• “What kind of a deal?” I implore.
• “They will stay off your case and stop bothering you, only if I try to win you over. If they don’t see me doing anything, they will bother you, and I don’t want that.

I wouldn’t want to cause you more stress and pain, Ayana.” His tone drips with sincerity that causes an adrenaline rush down my spine.
