Summary
In which Jon Bernthal is a mechanic with calloused hands, a bad habit of smoking Marlboro Reds in the cold, and a dangerous fixation on his best friend’s twenty-three-year-old daughter.
You were supposed to be focusing on your literature finals, finishing your last semester of college, and ignoring the subtle rot in your relationship. You definitely weren't supposed to be watching Jon's hands while he fixed baseboards in your family’s kitchen.
He’s twenty years older than you, your father trusts him, and stepping over the line breaks every unwritten rule he’s ever lived by. But when one night pushes the two of you past the point of no return, staying apart becomes a game neither of you can win.Title from "Crush" - Ethel Cain
