My crush's life hangs by a thread. Literally. A cotton thread, stuffed with rice and bad decisions.
Leo Matsuda was supposed to get harmless revenge karma, not become magically linked to a voodoo doll that only works because he's falling for me. Now I'm a teenage magical guardian whose biggest threat isn't dark wizards—it's chemistry class, aggressive bullies, and the way Leo's smile makes my hands shake when I'm holding his life in my backpack.
Three weeks ago, my biggest problem was hiding my feelings. Now I'm hiding the fact that one wrong move could put him in the hospital, and every sweet thing he does makes the situation more impossible.
I never wanted to be responsible for someone else's heart. I definitely never wanted them to be responsible for mine.
But here we are, and I'm running out of ways to keep us both safe.
