Chapter 21

“Are you ready?”

Seated between my legs, Sorrow glances over her shoulder at me.

“I’m with you, so yes, I’m ready, ready, ready!”

Laughing, she raises her arms in the air. I snap a picture. We look at the screen. I’m smirking. She’s happy. Perfect. I tuck the phone into my pocket.

Grinning from ear to ear, happier than I’ve been in a long time, I push off the hill at the same time I yell, “Let’s go!” to the guys flanking our sides, and we are off, racing down the mountain.

We’re going super fast. She digs her fingers into my thighs. I tighten my hold on her body. “You’re safe with me, Sorrow. I’d never let you get hurt.”

“Promise?”

“I promise.”

Little did I know I would soon break my promise to her.
