“No. I want to ground you. I want to be the anchor that keeps you from getting lost in your head again so deep that I can’t reach you. There’s no room for regression here.”
“Why do you even care so much?” she snapped. The minute the harsh question left her

Lefty laughed. “Alright, I’ll start making plans and get Gia settled at the house with a few prospects.”
