““Slowly, my shock and pain morph into something else. Anger. “All I wanted was to be left in peace, to build a life. And some asshole thinks they can take that away. To hell with that.” That’s my strong girl. Ian looks proud. We’ll turn this around on the son of a bitch. They back me and it helps. I’m not alone in this. If I find them first, I’m going to break their arms and legs, then hurt them.””
