Gavin released his grip on his mother. I saw the red mark on her wrist, though I knew it would heal in minutes, I still shivered at the thought that Gavin had hurt his mother enough to leave a mark.

I couldn't blame her; I'm sure she was still shocked that her own son would resort to hurting her because of another woman. I was shocked as well; I didn't think Gavin would choose me over his own mother... and yet here I was,
