Promise me you’ll think it over, okay?”
Mitchel’s hands, which were clasping her, trembled slightly.
He was usually so proud, but he lowered his pride for the woman in front of him. He felt diminished, humbled even, by his own actions.
A single word from Raegan could knock him down.
Once Mitchel was gone, Raegan opened the door and collapsed onto the ground. The tears she had been holding back now cascaded freely.
Despite her constant reminders to herself not to succumb to temptation, being close to Mitchel stirred something deep within her.
Right now, she hated herself for her lack of resolve. She was afraid of being shattered beyond repair after being deeply entangled with him and falling for him once again.

Nicole had kept this secret bottled up for so long, feeling no one to confide in or understand her.
She felt engulfed in darkness and burdened by a weight too heavy to bear alone.
Deep down, she wished she had never met Jarrod.
Raegan wrapped Nicole in a tight embrace, her nose tingling.
