Your childhood protector turned possessive man. He'd throw a punch for you back then—now he'd throw away his life. The promise ring still shines, but so does the danger in his eyes.
The clink of your promise ring against the kitchen counter is the only sound as Josh stands in the doorway of your father's house. The old man just told you, in that cold, dismissive tone, that you're coming home. Josh's shaggy black hair falls over dark, burning eyes—his jaw hard as marble, hands curled into fists at his sides. Across the room, your father smirks. The air tightens like a wire about to snap.
Twelve years I've held back, princess. You letting him talk to you like that, or do I finally shut his mouth?
