He shook his head. “Generally, I’d agree with you, but it’s different with us.”
She let out a small sigh. “No, it’s not. It wouldn’t work between us, so let’s just remain friends.”
He rolled his eyes. “Give me one good reason why it wouldn’t work between us?”
It hovered on the tip of her tongue to blurt out exactly why he wouldn’t want her when he learned the truth, but she bit back the urge to confess. Never tell the cops anything revealing. Her mother’s words thundered through her ears, as crisp and fresh as they’d been the first time she’d heard them when she was just eight years old. It had been one of the many life lessons taught to her by her shady mother, and like the others, it was difficult to shed. “It just wouldn’t.”
With a sigh of his own, he picked up the bag of tea. “I’m not giving up. I’m never giving up.”
“You’re starting to sound like a stalker.” Despite her snarky words, she couldn’t deny that excitement filled her at the idea of him continuing to pursue her. It was flattering, even though it was difficult to resist him, despite the best reasons to do so. “I guess I’ll see you in two days for more tea.”
He looked grim as he nodded. “I guess you will.”

A fan of post-apocalyptic, zombie, and dystopian books, she prefers to read or view such stories from the comfort of her living room and never, ever in person.
