Family

I felt lost and empty, it took me everything to walk away. I wasn't even sure I could, I just knew I needed to get away from him before it was too late, for Grayson's sake too. If I had held on any longer Dace would have considered that he would use force which involved driving Grayson away, and I'm not exactly sure he intended to talk him away, it would have been physical.

I was the push needed to stop before we did something we would both regret. Whatever it might have been I didn't want to picture it, the look in Dace's told me if I hadn't stood up, blood would have followed. It's crazy just thinking about it but I knew the extent Dace would have gone, which made it more scary.
