TEAGAN:
I am not immune to Knox Sterling. No one with eyes would be.
Six foot three, broad shoulders that strain every seam, forearms that deserve their own zip code, and a jaw that should be illegal in all fifty states. He's the most beautiful, maddening man I've ever met.
He communicates in grunts, holds his daughter like he's afraid of her, and looks at the world from behind eyes so closed off I wonder if anyone's ever gotten through. It irritates me. It breaks my heart. Somehow, both at once.
I tell myself I keep coming back for Briar.
That's what I tell myself, anyway.
KNOX:
Teagan fills every room she walks into. Loud and warm and relentless, like she hasn't learned yet that the world doesn't always give back what you put into it.
She looks at me like she can't decide if she wants me or wants to fix me.
I can't give her either. Every reserve I have goes to Briar, hockey, and getting through the day without thinking about everything I lost and everything I owe. A woman like Teagan deserves someone whole. Someone who still has words.
What I don't count on is her staying anyway.
Or what it does to me when she does.
