Protect Me - Coffee Shop 09 - Katie Cross - English

Katelyn

There are three rules I implemented five years ago thatgovern my safety around men.

1. Never alone.

2. Never stranded.

3. Never unaware.

In those five years, I've never broken those rules. Notonce. Because I will not be a fool again.

Then I do break those rules—willingly—to help the olderbrother of my best friend, Vikram. Vikram is trouble. Has always been trouble.

Charming, a little arrogant, and flighty as a bird when itcomes to women. I spent half my childhood adoring him, half crying over him.

Yet he's always had my heart.

Six years after last seeing him is no exception.

My parents say I'm a mess. I agree.

When a knee surgery goes wrong, things get ugly. What kindof woman would ever want to stay by my side when I can barely cope with theday-to-day of recovery?

None of them.

Which is why I've never tried.

There's only one person at my side when I need her the most:Katelyn Saucony. The last woman I ever expected to see there.

Maybe the one that I've always wanted there.

She has secrets to hide, and when those secrets come back tolife and threaten her safety, I'm forced to reckon with my own ghosts.
