LAURA Running. Between work and my personal life, it wasn't something that I had the chance to do alot. Frankly, it wasn't something that I enjoyed doing. I only did it when I was super stressed and needed to clear my head. But considering that I hadn't done it in a very long time...well, it explained why I was panting for air just thirty minutes into the run. Slowing to a stop, I leaned against the wall of a tall building, doubling over and bracing my hands on my knees as I struggled to catch my breath. When I heard the sounds of footsteps fast approaching, I straightened and plastered on a fake smile as though I gave a f**k whoever this person was. As if I wasn't seconds away from crumbling to the ground in a heap of sweat and messy thoughts. The owner of the footstep
