“Forget Sam. Amelia’s who he should be scared of.”
They’re both wrong.
It’s me.
I’m who Cross should be scared of.
I think I’m the one who could hurt him most if I can’t get past this.
“Sweetheart, relationships are scary. But you’re my fearless girl. Scary hasn’t ever stopped you before. Are you going to let it now?”
Some days, I wish I could be the good twin.
Fearlessness is overrated.
Cross
Are you going to come to the door?
Cinderella
What are you talking about?
Cross
You’ve been parked in front of my house for thirty minutes. Either you’ve got something on your mind or you’re casing the joint. And since your condo might be worth two of my houses, I’m thinking it’s the first thing.
Cinderella
Technically, Lindy owns the condo. So maybe I am casing the joint. My ass would look great in one of those cat burglar suits.
Cross
It would look better up in the air, bright red, and covered with my handprints. But that would require you coming inside.
Cinderella
Is that a promise?
Cross
Thirty minutes, Cinderella. Come inside. Tell me what’s on your mind. Then we’ll see about the rest.
Cinderella
It’s raining.
Cross
Seems to be a theme for us.
Cinderella
Your driveway is a mile long.
Cross
It’s a quarter of a mile.
