    Summary

    There’s something deep in her chest, a roaring, burning thing, and she’s never noticed it before, but now that she has, she realizes that it’s always been there, quietly building over her entire life. It wants to take everything she’s been given and then some, to be selfish and forceful and everything else she’s spent twenty-four years trying to keep down. A part of her is scared of it, of the person she’ll become if she lets it swallow her whole, but the rest of her wants it too badly to care.

    She cups Diego’s cheek in her palm and presses her lips to his. The kiss is soft, gentle, but behind it, a rush of pure adrenaline thunders through her veins and she feels herself hurtling past the point of no return.

    Summary

    'Defense attorneys carry the fate of their client on their shoulders. It'll be difficult, but this is a case we must win.' Gregory smiled softly, hugging his sleeping son close. ‘And if Miles is there, I could do it. A father can work miracles when his son is watching.’

    Summary

    “Hey,” Gregory said in a voice just above a whisper. Moving slowly so as not to startle Miles, he sat down on the bed, and Miles sat up to scoot closer to him. “Bad dream?”

    Finally looking up, Miles nodded, his eyes shining with tears.

    “Come here.” Gregory opened his arms, and Miles leaned against him, wrapping his arms tightly around Gregory’s waist and pressing his face into the fabric of Gregory’s nightshirt. Ignoring a twinge from his shoulder, Gregory reciprocated the hug, holding Miles close and rubbing his back as he continued to sob.

    (Gregory comforts Miles after a nightmare, protecting him as best he can while helping him understand what happened in the elevator two weeks prior.)
