AJ'S POV
-
There was a couch sitting directly opposite the bed. "I can take that. You don't have to worry about sharing the bed."
I had seen the way her back went rigid the moment she realized we would be sharing a room. We had never even shared a room before. When my mother took her in, she gave her a completely separate bedroom.
I didn't want to think about what had happened at the library, or anger would consume my mind, and I couldn't afford that right now.
I knew what anger could turn me into. I knew the painful lessons it had taught me. I was not always a good person, but I couldn't put my fist through Elijah's jaw, no matter how desperately I wanted to.
I touched her shoulder gently. She stiffened, her white curls whipping around as she turned toward me. Her hair had always fascinated me because it looked so much like moonlight. It was as if you were staring directly at the Moon Goddess herself.
