"Why?" I tried to meet his eyes, but he shut them, avoiding my gaze. His fingernails dug into the skin on his bare arms, and he pursed his lips grimly.Slowly, I scooted toward him. "Talk to me, Danny, please," I said, trying to pry one of his arms loose. But the more I tugged, the more rigidly he kept them crossed against his body as he shrank away from me as far as he could inside the cramped car. For a moment, I was afraid he would simply get out and walk away.Too close, a voice whispered inside me. You're much too close to him!I let go of his arm so I could slide back into my seat, and he relaxed almost instantly. He took several deep, slow breaths before opening his eyes and blinking at me through his long lashes."You know why," he whispered. "And someday I'll tell you myself. I promise. Be patient with me." <h3>About the author</h3> Jessica Koch was born in Ludwigsburg, Germany, and began writing short stories when she was still in high school - but never submitted her work to publishers.

Entonces, una noche, conoce a Danny, un chico de veinte años que tiene todo lo que ella sueña: buena presencia, éxito, independencia y dinero. Se siente fascinada por su confianza en sí mismo, su buen humor y su actitud servicial hacia los demás. Poco a poco, irá descubriendo tras esa fachada, construida con tanto cuidado, quién es en realidad. No solo su pasado es sombrío, sino que su futuro está marcado, pues desde su infancia arrastra mucho más que traumas.
