She gives me what I didnt know I needed. I dont know if I can do the same for her
For years, Ive lived as a broken shell of a man, the Prom Night survivor who doesnt deserve to live. I continue my stolen life for my familys sake, but my silent world is a dark one full of terrors, with no respite to be found anywhere.
Then Liaden comes along.
Shes my polar opposite. An extroverted, highly successful professor, always smiling, always a sparkling ray of quirky pink sunshine. This woman makes me feel things I never even felt with the girl I lost. The girl who died in my arms many years ago when the world exploded around us.
The girl I failed to save.
Liaden, though She draws me to her like a magnet, pulling me into the light in ways I dont deserve.
But Im broken, weak, sinful. I cant even speak the words to tell her how much she means to me.
This cant work out.
Can it?
