Fallen Hero (Downrange #2)

I was still out of breath from my jog around the corner. Of course, my timing was shit, and I’d lost sight of the taxi Calli was in before another had shown up. I had no choice but to get back to the penthouse and my team.

I have nothing to say to you, Mason. You took something from me I wasn’t offering, and in doing so, you might’ve taken away my only opportunity to find the peace I desperately need.

Calista’s words echoed in my head, ricocheted around, and sliced me to shreds. I’d taken a lot from the woman in the last twenty-four hours. Raw pain took a tour around my bleeding insides, leaving its own damage.

I held my phone up to my ear, getting Calista’s voicemail for the third time.
