Chapter 46 Beyond The Limits

• Ava's POV
• Between Eli and me, the stillness is dense and heated. I stayed still, my fingers tightly holding the notepad he had handed me so I could feel its edges cutting into my palm. There were all those secrets, all those times he had avoided my inquiries or shrugged off my worries, ready to be unearthed in this little journal.
• I opened it, steeling myself with a long breath. Quick, nearly frantic handwriting covered the pages, as if someone had hurried to organize their ideas before they might go. Not only were names and dates involved here, though. There were specifics, rich descriptions of people I knew, others I didn't, all twisted in a web of relationships I hardly comprehended.
