Entre les menaces qui se multiplient envers moi et la pression exercée par ma famille pour que je sois quelqu’un que je ne suis pas, j’ai du mal à tenir le coup.

I can’t have Elijah Iverson. I can’t have him because he’s my older brother’s best friend. I can’t have him because I broke his heart five years ago; because he’s now engaged to someone else - someone kind and dependable who deserves his whiskey eyes, his soft mouth, his fierce intellect.
