Today we have a little bit from one of my favorite scenes—and it’s from Atticus’ POV. So without further ado—here IT IS.
Something flickers in her eyes, and she
looks away, playing with the straw to her tea. It’s so dejected, I pause and
step over to her, tilting her chin up. Her breath catches. I have to force
myself to let her go again.
“Or,” I murmur, “you could come with me.”
She inhales sharply, her chest rising under
her thin shirt.
“That’s a bad idea,” she murmurs.
My fingers curve, catching in her hair. Its
silky soft, and I can smell her shampoo, clean and floral. My thumb rests on
her pulse point, the frantic beat jumping under my hand.
“What are you doing?” she asks,
breathlessly.
What
do you think?? I’m so excited to share this book with y’all! Don’t forget to
add it your shelf on Goodreads.
