EMMALINE
What would you do if love knocked?
Would you open the door and risk tasting heartbreak? Or stare from the other end of the room, waiting for it to leave.
Even if it shatters every fiber of your being?
I never believed in second chances. For me, life had always been a one-shot.
Like how I’d lost my parents, childhood, and my dream career. It happened once and I never got a second chance.
Whatever Aiden was offering, even as I sped down the road — It made no sense to me.
I spent the past year building walls he’d effortlessly crushed.
Maybe my biggest fear wasn’t getting hurt. Maybe it was that he’d see through me.
Through my heart and realize, despite everything — It was beating for him.
It was calling his name at the top of the rooftops and yes, it was aching.
