He's everything I want but run away from.



There's a long list of things I don't handle well: Change. Relationships. Breakups.



But there's one person above everything else I can't seem to get a handle on. Brody Wallace.



In short, he's perfect. The reality, he scares me. He's the opposite of what I usually go for. He's bigger. Intimidating. He reminds me of someone I'd rather forget.



When I need to find a new place to live, Brody offers me his spare room, but I have no plans on taking him up on the offer. He doesn't know what happened to me five years ago, and I want to keep it that way. But with limited options, I find myself outside his apartment holding a full moving box and wondering: How can I do this without exposing the darkest part of my past?
