He''s everything I want but run away from. There''s a long list of things I don''t handle well: Change. Relationships. Breakups. But there''s one person above everything else I can''t seem to get a handle on. Brody Wallace. In short, he''s perfect. The reality, he scares me. He''s the opposite of what I usually go for. He''s bigger. Intimidating. He reminds me of someone I''d rather forget. When I need to find a new place to live, Brody offers me his spare room, but I have no plans on taking him up on the offer. He doesn''t know what happened to me five years ago, and I want to keep it that way. But with limited options, I find myself outside his apartment holding a full moving box and wondering: How can I do this without exposing the darkest part of my past? Contains mature themes.
