If Shane Davis had it to do over again, he
wouldn't have gone out that night. He wouldn't have burned down the church. And
he sure wouldn't have taken the annoying dead girl home with him.Now that Shane has her, he has no idea what to do with her. He can't release her into the "wild" because people will recognize her (being a hundred and fifty year old town 'legend' will do that). He can't send her away because she can't take care of herself yet. And she can't stay because if people find her, they'll know he burned the church. Being eighteen now, Shane definitely doesn't want that fact coming out.
Unbeknownst to Shane, someone has figured out the girl's secret and will do anything to get it for himself... even kill the girl who isn't so immortal after all.
Shane jumped to his knees, but Lizzie grabbed his arm to keep him from
attacking Drake. She wasn’t worth it.
Shane looked down at her, his face hard. “He needs to learn to keep his
mouth shut.”
Lizzie opened her mouth to speak, but Drake beat her to it. “And I bet
you are the one to teach me, right, Davis?”
“Shut up,” Cheyenne said, stepping in front of Drake. “You two just cool
it. You’re acting like children.”
“He started it.” Drake sat back down on the rolling chair in a huff. He
ran his hands thought his hair and sighed.
Lizzie tugged on Shane’s arm to pull him down to her. He complied, but
didn’t seem pleased about it. He wrapped his fingers around hers, holding her
hand. If Lizzie’s heart could beat, it would have beat out of her chest. Even
though he was holding her hand, he kept his eyes on Drake and Cheyenne. Lizzie
wasn’t even sure he knew he was holding her hand, but Lizzie knew and she
didn’t try to let go.
