[Cupid's Aim 04] • Love's Lost Embrace

Ultimatums. Tragedy.

Trimble

My life has been one sad story after another. Until the day she moved in across the street. Our friendship saved me and as the years passed, morphed into something I was too scared to explore for fear of my own emotions.

The space I put between us put her in danger.

Our one night together left us with an unbreakable bond.

My need to protect her, would ultimately lead to our abandonment.

But I was ALWAYS coming back for her.

My Love.

Secrets. Love. Second chances.

Love

My life was perfect. Until the day it wasn’t.

The one bright spot in my dreary days was Trim. The boy across the street. My best friend. My protector. Until the day he decided he didn’t want to be either of those things.

Suffering in silence was my only option. Then Trim found out and I found my way out of the darkness into his arms.

That lasted a minute before we were torn from one another by tragedy and death.

He said he was coming back for me. Told me to look for the letters.

They never came and neither did he.

Until he did.

But can I trust him to stay this time?
