Wes

She’s here.

She’s actually fucking here.

I touch her again just to make sure. I can’t stop touching her.

She’s so fucking beautiful—camera-ready with that slicked-back hair and red lipstick. Her big blue eyes are framed by a million jet-black lashes, but the tears welling up inside them are already starting to make her mascara run.

I want to reach up and run a thumb over her cheek, but the blinking red light on the camera five feet away keeps me from doing it. I don’t know how Rain got in here or what kind of trouble she’ll be facing if I blow her cover, so as much as it fucking kills me, I let go of the mic.

I let go of her.

“Mr. … I mean, Wes.” Rain drops her eyes as a blush creeps up her neck.

I count her breaths—one, two, three—before she lifts her eyes to me again. When she does, a black tear slides down the side of her face that the camera can’t see.

“You don’t seem scared,” she says with a worried wrinkle in her forehead.

“I’m not,” I answer honestly.

“Why? Have you just … accepted what’s gonna happen to you?” Her perfect reporter diction falters as her voice rises in frustration.

“No.”

Rain straightens her spine for the camera and regains control of her Southern accent. “Then, can you tell us what’s going through your mind right now?”

Her eyes plead with me to give her hope. To promise her that I have a plan. But all I have is the knowledge that I’ve survived every shitty fucking thing this life has thrown at me so far, and somehow, that feels like enough.

It has to be.

“Right now?” I say, staring into her eyes as if my gaze alone could dry her tears. “Right now, I’m only thinking about right now. About how a beautiful woman can walk into your life when you least expect it. About how quickly things can change.” Rain drops her eyes again, and I can’t help but smile. “And I’m also thinking of about a million and one ways I can try to escape.”

Elliott snatches the microphone away from Rain with an awkward laugh and faces the camera, forcing his way in between us.

“Ha! My man Parker’s got jokes, y’all! Tune in tomorrow at six to see him, and yours truly, walk the Green Mile! Stay safe out there, and may the fittest survive!”

Elliott holds his serious TV news anchor face until Flip indicates that the recording is over. Then, he lights up like a Christmas tree. “Am I a natural or what? Listen”—he steps forward and places his hands on Flip and Michelle’s shoulders, turning them toward the hallway—“if y’all ever need another guest reporter, I’d be more than happy to …” His voice trails off as he walks them down the hall.

It’s suddenly just me.

And Rain.

And about two-dozen steel bars in between us.

“There’s a camera,” I spit out before she has a chance to do or say anything incriminating.

“Don’t you worry about that,” Elliott’s voice sings from the doorway, making Rain jump.
