His Guilt Was Never Love

Seven years ago, I threw myself in front of an out-of-control truck to save Liam Sterling.

It ruined half my face.

After a failed skin graft, the right side of my face was left with twisted, puckered scars, and the corner of my mouth could never fully close again.

My best friend, Chloe Bennett, claimed she hated seeing me hide behind a face mask.

She insisted on helping me "step out of the shadows."

So, whenever we were in a situation that required me to show my face, she would force me to try.
