Teaser Tuesday: A Need So Beautiful

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:

• Grab your current read
• Open to a random page
• Share two (2) "teaser" sentences from somewhere on that page 
• BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!) 
• Share the Title & Author, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!

 Carrie's Teaser:

 

   My hot hand touches his forearm and I feel the skin sear underneath, a surge running through both of us. He yanks back, but it's too late. He's been touched. He's felt it. He believes me. 
   Francisco is gasping as his aura fades from my vision. Now I can see that his hair is cropped short and there's a ring piercing his dark eyebrow. He's staring at me, his eyes glassy and trancelike, tears running down his cheeks. I see the fading mark of a handprint on his arm. 
   "What are you?" he asks, out of breath. "What the hell are you?"

   His words hurt me, not like the hurt in my head, which is killing me right now. Not like the deep bruising I can feel in my legs as I stand here, half dazed. His words are exactly what I ask myself every night before I fall asleep. What am I? 
   I swallow hard. "I don't know," I whisper. "I'm no one."
