I ā¦ I donāt know what I would have done.ā He curled and uncurled his fingers. āI have no problem with your other rules, but I canāt do this one. No oneās ever āaccepted me always.ā At some point, Iāll mess up. Maybe badly. Maybe itāll be over India. You wonāt want to be my mom then, so Iād rather not risk it.āThe air sucked from the room, and Elliot, clearly aware of it, pushed his chair back. āIf I might be excused?āElliot Jersey turned up on the Russellsā doorstep, sick with the flu and filled with a lot of secrets. An abusive past. A knife fight with his dad. And a lot of self-doubt.But from the start, though heās grateful theyāve taken him in, itās his interest in their daughter, India, that causes the most problems. A girl as great as her has no business with a boy like him and no amount of love and heavenly forgiveness will ever change that.Especially not after their sexual attraction spirals them over the edge, into the biggest mistake of their lives.
