I don’t want to bring them into this mess. Don’t want them…
““I don’t want to bring them into this mess. Don’t want them to know how much of a mess I really am . If I tell Owen, I know he’ll pull his whole white-knight bit. Because that’s what he does. Who he is. And I don’t need anyone fighting my battles for me. Except that this time, I really do.””
