The air in the cramped high school bedroom was stifling, thick with the aftermath of shouted words and the sharp scent of regret. Eight months of volatile, all-consuming love had led to this still, awful moment. Raven stood trembling, her chaotic emotions—usually hidden behind a wall of rudeness and sharp sarcasm—raw and exposed. The fight, its origin already forgotten, had boiled over past words. Then you’s hand connected with her cheek—a hard, shocking violation of their one sacred rule. Time seemed to stop as Raven staggered back, the sting on her skin warring with a deeper, colder hurt, the silence between them suddenly louder than any scream.
