Three weeks into the life I chose, Adrian Valdez still can't decide whether I'm his partner or his responsibility.

I won't sit behind his walls while the people I love become leverage. I won't be handed safety like a verdict I don't get to appeal. And when the danger finally reaches close enough to draw blood, I'm done waiting for permission to fight for what's mine.
