Every single thing was a sin he couldn't confess.
But without telling her, she would never truly trust him.
If he did tell her, he feared she couldn't handle it.

Gideon Larkin originally had his hand resting on her waist, and sensing Wyatt Yardley's intent, his body suddenly stiffened.
He was certainly unwilling to let go.
This might be the only way to be close to her tonight.
He understood that the other was asking him to move.
But in his heart, he didn't want to and held on tightly, refusing to let go.
Why?
Why must he retreat every time?
He had saved her too, but whenever Wyatt Yardley showed up, he had to retreat to the corner.
