Synopsis
Sophia
Destino is supposed to die.
All seventeen-year-old Sophia wants is to coast through her junior year. But
with her parents obsessed with her Olympic-swimming-hopeful brother, a psychic
best friend with a penchant for reading tarot cards, and prophetic dreams
that predict her death—that won’t be easy. As her nightmares begin to come
true, Sophia finds herself dodging death and longing for the time when
getting over her ex-boyfriend was her biggest problem. Until she meets Leo
Knight. The mysterious stranger seems determined to keep her alive—and
steal her heart. But Leo has a secret that is about to change everything and
Sophia is about to learn that sometimes…your number is up.
When
we made it to the living room Hercules began lapping up the puddles of water we
left behind us. Leo yanked the gray blanket off of the armchair and wrapped it
around me because I was suddenly shaking.
He
moved a salt stone lamp out of his way and sat on top of the coffee table,
motionlessly taking in my expression. Before he even spoke I just knew he was
reading me all wrong. I felt like I could read him already too.
“I’m
sorry. I’m so sorry, Sophia,” he groaned.
“For
what? My idiotic carelessness or that you saved my life once again?
You shouldn’t be sorry about either of those things.”
“I
shouldn’t have let that happen. I shouldn’t have been sleeping still. I promised
you I’d protect you and look what happened. Do you have any idea how close you
were to dying? Even closer than you were last night. If I was just one second
later I would’ve been too late.”
“I
know. I was there. But you weren’t too late. It’s all over now—I’m fine.” He
put his head in his hands and scrunched his hair in his palms. “Leo.” I reached
forward and placed my hand on his arm. He was still so hot to the touch. “Why’s
your skin so hot again?”
He
flinched away from my hand, stood up, folded his arms across his chest and
turned his back to me. His reaction made me question my gesture.
“It’ll
go away.”
“Yeah
but why does it happen at all?”
He
hesitated for just a moment before he answered. “Because I keep saving your
life.”
“I
thought angels are supposed to save lives.”
“I
already told you. I’m not an angel. I’m not supposed to save lives.”
