She kneels to pray. He kneels for no one.

Jayden Rogue notices her because she's the only thing in this town that looks at him like he's wrong.

And he can't stand it.

He makes it his mission to get under her skin. Flicking cigarettes onto church steps. Revving his engine past the Sunday crowds. Showing up where he doesn't belong, all sharp grin. He wants to shatter her. Prove she's just another hypocrite. Prove everyone is.
