Sweetheart, I need you, I whispered in her ear.  

I’ve been locked up for a year now. For a crime I didn’t commit.

But an innocent girl began writing me, pen pal style.

Laney Smith, with big brown eyes and a trusting smile.

So pure.

So sweet.

So true.

The flames between us are wrong because prison’s made me into a beast, hungry and ravenous.

But I’ve fallen in love with Laney, and bars will never come between us now.
