Pivot Line

Sometimes the worst lies... are the ones we tell ourselves.
His death left me broken-destroyed.
It wasn't the incident alone. I was already damaged beyond repair by the events leading to that moment. But seeing his lifeless body only sealed my fate. So many mistakes. So much regret.
Dex wants to know what happened that night. He wants to catch a killer and put my demons to rest. I'm just not sure I can trust him after the lies he told to get close. I'm wary... guarded. Still, I'll welcome him to my world and lead him into the darkness.
He'll see me for what I truly am. But I'm not the only one keeping secrets. And maybe…
The truth will set us all free.
