I don't want to face William Bailey, whose eyes remind me of the girl I was, the things I've done, and the future I lost.This would all be easier if Will hated me. As it is, I have to hold my secrets close so they won't hurt him more than they've already hurt me. But he wants to be in my life. He wants what I can't bring myself to confess I sold.
