I have a new name in a new city.

Even though we're only friends, Tye sleeps in my bed every night. After everything I've been through, I don't believe I can handle more. But if relationships aren't his thing, why is he here?

I wanted Billie from the first moment I saw her. Her scars are deep and every day is a struggle. Learning her secrets is like unwrapping a gift; slower is better. I only want to protect her. That's why I hold her every night.

We're just friends, which is for the best.

Isn't it?
