People always tell me I’m an old soul. Maybe it’s their polite way of pointing out that I don’t fit in with kids my age. It’s fine. They’re right. If there’s one thing I’ve learned in the last two nightmarish years of my life, it’s that time is limited and unpredictable. There’s no point in wasting it by caring too much about what others think. There’s no point in dancing around the things you want. And I want Burke. I don’t care if he’s almost twice my age. Age is relative. I don’t care that he works for my stupidly protective older brother. Evan will get over it. I’m going after what I want.
