I
didn’t do it.
I
never betrayed my friend.
Last
year, I was kidnapped along with presidential candidate’s daughter
Lindsay Bosworth, forced to help her assailants, my mother implicated
in one of the biggest political scandals in American history.
I've
been cleared of any wrongdoing, but that doesn’t matter. Once
you’re tried by the media, you’re guilty as sin. The truth
doesn’t get the public’s attention.
But
shame? Shame sells.
And
everyone assumes you’re tainted.
Now
I have my own personal security team, courtesy of the United States
government. Not the one you learned about in civics class, though.
I’m
being tracked by the deep state. The shadow government. They’ve
assigned Silas Gentian to be with me twenty-four seven. He thinks he
knows everything about me – all of it bad -- and he does.
On
paper.
Like
everyone else, he assumes I’m a traitor. A backstabber. A betrayer.
Someone who helped a group of violent psychopaths, puppets of
powerful men in Washington who made me into a tool.
Yet
I see how he looks at me. True desire can’t be faked.
Or
hidden.
And
that goes both ways.
He
assumes I’m trying to fool him.
And
he might be right.

Excerpt
He
jolts, digging into his pocket to pull out a phone. Before he turns
the screen away from me, I see his backdrop. It’s of a small
dark-haired child on a beach, the picture taken from behind, her
skirt flying around her legs, the little girl in motion, the blue
skies over the green water idyllic.
Does
he have a child? Who is the little girl? As Silas reads his screen,
his shoulders slump slightly–in defeat.
What
the hell is in that text he’s reading?
He
leans his elbow against the door, setting the phone face down on his
thigh, his expression troubled. I want to ask him if he’s okay. I
want to ask him about the little girl. I want to ask him so many
questions.
Most
of all, I want to ask him to be kind to me.
I
need someone to be kind to me.
Anyone.
Because
you can live for a very long time in isolation.
But
you can’t live among people for very long without needing kindness.
It’s as essential as oxygen, as water, as food.
While
you might not technically die without kindness, the existence you’re
left with is worse than dying.
