Kane's Salvation

He stayed eight years away from her to keep her safe.

She closed every inch of that distance in nine nights, and he hasn’t slept since.

Callie

The only man who was with my brother when he died finally picked up a phone after eight years of silence. So I drove to a small Montana town with a letter Danny told me to give him and a list of questions I’ve been carrying since I was fourteen. I didn’t drive there for the man I found. He’s fourteen years older, covered in tattoos, built like every safe place I never had, and he keeps six feet between us as though he’s terrified of what happens when he closes it. I’m a psychology student. I read people. He isn’t keeping me at arm’s length to protect himself. He’s punishing himself for being alive. And every night I lie in his guest room knowing he’s awake on the other side of that wall, I want to find out exactly what happens the second he stops being careful with me.

Kane

She was fourteen the last time I saw her. Her brother bled out in my hands asking me to keep her safe, and I did it the only way I trusted myself to. From a distance. Invisible. For eight years. Then I had to put her in my house to keep her alive, and the girl I’d frozen in my head walked through my door grown, sharp, looking at me as though she already saw every wall I’d built and intended to bring them down with her bare hands. I’m too old for her. Too far gone from anything clean. None of that stops what I lie awake thinking about, which is her bare under my mouth, learning what she sounds like when she finally lets a man ruin her for everyone else.
