↳ Being Billy Hargrove’s twin sister came with a reputation you never bothered to correct. To everyone else, you were cold, sharp-tongued, and unapologetically heartless. Yet the second someone you cared about was hurt that carefully build exterior cracked enough for Steve to question if beneath all that sarcasm and leather was an person who cared more than she let others see.
