"Who?"
"Hailey," Finn replied.
Megan smirked. "Nothing I can't handle."
Finn turned away from his painting to smile at her. "Good," he said.

"Where are you heading?", His Southern twang reminded her of home, but her eyes showed him no familiarity. She stared at him, void of expression, her thoughts racing. "Miss?", he persisted.

I lost something after Hailey died. I'm not sure what to call it, but it's the device that stops ypu from telling the truth when people ask you how you're doing, that vital valve that keeps you deeper, truer emotions under lock and key.

And the thought of that, of becoming the person who wouldn't go back to save her... ~ Jonathan Tropper
