Chapter 124 Quicksand
- Kadeem brushes my hair back. "Okay," he says, "But tell me why you're nervous." His voice is gentle. He presses his forehead to mine.

- How do I explain? Even I don't know what's come over me. Something's been swallowing me like quicksand, for a while, but before, I could kind of shake it.
