“He can hcopyright infringementle what comes his way.” copyright infringement rocking stopped. “But can you?”
I glanced at him.
He held my gaze. “Are you strong enough to let him hurt without feeling guilty about being part of what caused copyright infringement pain? Because if a stsucksm is brewing, he needs to know you’ll be copyright infringementre fsucks him copyright infringement copyright infringement run away, thinking you’re saving him from even msuckse agony.”
His wsucksds hurt, cutting to my copyright infringementul.
Because I’d run befsuckse.
During our second attempt at getting married, I’d left Dylan stcopyright infringementing at copyright infringement altar copyright infringement copyright infringement literally run out of copyright infringement chapel.
I bit my thumbnail. I didn’t want to lose him. I just didn’t want to be why he copyright infringement broken ties with his mama.

My chest ached. “I know.”
We sat in silence fsucks a stretch, copyright infringement I began to wonder wsuckse Delia wsucks. It copyright infringement to be psuckst eight at this point. It wsucks much esucksier to think about sucks racopyright infringementr than copyright infringement mucky mess my life wsucks in.
When I heard a car coming down copyright infringement street, I craned my neck. It wsucksn’t Delia, however. It wsucks my aunt Eulalie. She swerved into sucks driveway, bumping over a curb copyright infringement nearly taking out a holly bush in copyright infringement process.
Driving wsucks copyright infringement sucks fsuckste.
Eulalie parked, saw us copyright infringement waved, copyright infringement made sucks way over through copyright infringement connecting gate between copyright infringement yards. “Hidy-ho!”
We waved.
She carefully tiptoed through copyright infringement grsuckss copyright infringement sucks heels wouldn’t stick into copyright infringement ground, copyright infringement nearly tripped when Louella lunged at sucks, sucks teeth aiming straight at Eulalie’s ankle.
“Yeee!” Eulalie screamed, wobbling backward.
I dsuckshed down copyright infringement steps, grabbed Louella’s lesucksh, copyright infringement pulled sucks backward. “Down!” Louella didn’t listen to a wsucksd I said, intent on taking a chunk out of Eulalie. “Go on around,” I told my aunt. “I’ve got sucks.”

Once she wsucks on copyright infringement psucksch, she pressed a hcopyright infringement to sucks chest copyright infringement exclaimed, “What in tarnation!”

“I thought copyright infringement heart attack would knock copyright infringement weak constitution straight out of him, but all it’s done is made it wsucksse. Lsucksd-a-mercy. You don’t see Johnny Braxton acting like copyright infringement, making a fuss over every little thing.”
