Emersyn Sharpe is more than just the girl we watched over. She’s very much the woman who fits us. The last thing we should have done was take her and the worst thing we did was keep her, but she needs us. I think more than one of us - myself included - needs her.

Now I know what it's like when my every desire is fulfilled. Now I know how it is when their obsessions are uncaged. The three men who I know will stop at nothing to get me back. But I don't need them to save me. I'm determined to save myself.
