Zero

Zero’s an arrogant, enigmatic, dangerous hacker.He wants to protect me.Pity.He’s too late. I’m a lost cause.I narrowly escaped death only to now live on a knife’s edge, constantly checking the shadows for monsters.And I can’t trust him.He knows far too much about me, and I know nothing about him.Even still, this inscrutable stranger burrows his way under my skin and into my heart.With only a look, Zero makes me feel more alive than ever before.And that’s the problem.I should be dead.I’m the aftermath of a tragedy.Broken.A victim.But he calls me a survivor.He’s wrong.There’s no way I’ll cheat death twice, not when it’s breathing down my neck.
