Chapter 48

• Jane wasn’t holding back. If he wanted her to feel bad, she’d say her feelings too. “He doesn’t sneak into my room when I’m asleep.” She remembered Ryder had said something about that, and she remembered there had been a time she woke and heard her door shut. David came into her room at night, and he never said anything.
• He stared at her, not so angry now. “It’s the only time I get to see you. I’m not like him—I can’t tell the coaches I’m leaving. I can’t skip out on the team when everybody is going out. No one expects him to follow the rules, and he’s just that fucking good, that he can do what he wants.” He glared at her. “I’m glad the new coach is stricter, that he found a way to pull him from games. I’m glad he gets to feel the pressure, but the bastard still skips team shit, and no one cares.”
• “Is it a requirement?” She lifted her chin, not in the mood to listen to him tear Ryder down.
