One, he needed to stay the hell away from Silver Donahue. Two, he didn't think there was a chance in hell that he could.
He tries, though.
For a solid year, he does his best to be dismissive to the point where he appears cold and threatening.
But when Silver finds herself in danger, he forgets why he was giving her the cold shoulder to begin with.
The thing is, Silver didn't forget.
***
Silver Donahue was so deeply in love with Piers Webb it was disheartening. Especially knowing he didn't like her back.
She's determined to live her life, but with Webber always on the edge of her existence, she knows it's futile.
But she tries.
The thing is, there's no way you can ignore Piers Webb when he's aiming that dark and deadly gaze your way.
She's determined to keep him at a distance, until one night she has to pick him up on the side of a deserted road in the middle of nowhere. That one moment of need on his end is all she needs to realize a few things.
He's as scary as he wants her to believe, and killing a man and disposing of a body is a daily practice for him.
She should run so far in the opposite direction, because he has so many red flags, even a toddler wouldn't be able to ignore them.
But she's always proven she makes bad decisions.
But Piers Webb is going to be the best bad decision she's ever made.
