Mari squinted. “Well, if it’s not Asperger’s, then what is it?” Samara paused before answering and gripped the door handle. “We don’t know what he has. He was the first documented case. For now, he’s called Harkham’s Case number one.” Mari smiled as a tear leaked out. “Okay.” But nothing was. This changed everything. “He needs you, Mari. I’m not sure why or how he even decided that. It took years before he’d let Dad touch him.” Mari pulled over on the side of the road. “Years? His own father?” “Dustin’s not his biological father. It’s complicated,” Samara said, turning her head to look out her side window. “Okay, it’s complicated. Whose family isn’t?” “Ours is more than the Brady Bunch. There’s no laughs when somebody breaks their nose from a football, because Adam can be taken away from us, and we’re all he has left,” Samara replied. Mari gripped Samara’s arm. “Tell me. He’s dragged me into this—I need to know.” Adam Latham looks like any other charming, good-looking high school senior, but underneath, there’s a lot more to him than anyone could ever guess. He has an uncontrollable need for constant touch to ground him, to keep the numbers from invading his brain when anxiety gets the better of him. When Adam resolves to finally complete high school and get his diploma, the social demands amongst his younger peers prove to be much more challenging than he’d imagined. Lucky for him, his first class holds Marissa Cole, and she’s willing to let him hold her hand so he can keep control. Adam’s family sees him as a danger to himself if not strictly regulated, but to Mari, he’s a boy with the most pure soul—one so intriguing, she can’t resist him, and he quickly steals her heart. How will she cope when he invades her world and turns her life upside down, unearthing her own past traumas and issues? Will Adam find a way to help her find peace and forgiveness through love, or will their own problems keep them apart? Views: 13
