Hold on, Elle. I know what you need. I know what puts you on the edge of your comfort zone, and you'll have to find a way to believe in me again. Protecting her is the most crucial thing in my life. Have faith, Hellcat. I promise I'll give you everything you've ever wanted, as soon as I can get free. You're mine, and I'll spend the rest of my life trying to prove that to you once it's safe.

Wow, did not see that coming. Blindsided. You can have my body, you can have my heart, but trust, forget it. Josh demands I trust him. He pushes me further than I can go. I can't cross that line again. I tried. I have to pull back. Finish my work at the Winery and get the hell out. Josh might have shattered me, but I will pick up my own pieces. I don't need anyone. Especially Josh Whittier.
