Six Times We Almost Kissed (And One Time We Did)

Julia Rutgers

[ . . . ] for a second I just want to stay there, held and safe with her, because she's never broken under anything I've seen thrown at her. She's the only person I know who I can say that about, and I want to know the secret . . . because I feel like breaking. So badly.
