I should keep her out of my life, but is life worth living without her?
Cillian
I went away to visit my half-brother, Keenan, and when I came back I saw her. She was walking down the street, her hair blowing in the wind like when we were teenagers.
She was my everything, and then she became nothing.
I walked out of her life because mine would destroy her . . . but her memory haunts me with every corner I turn.
All I see is her, and now I’m at war with my mind.
I shouldn’t want her. I shouldn’t want her to be in danger, but she’s the only woman I’ve ever loved.
Mia
I was in love once, but the man who held it shattered my heart. Imagine my surprise when I move to a new city and see him standing across the street. I turned around and walked off as quickly as I could, but I felt Cillian’s eyes on me.
Cillian broke me in a way I could never fully explain. He destroyed my idea of love, and took part of me with him when he broke up with me. Sure, we were kids, but that didn’t matter. He was the only person who never let me down–until he did.
Now here I am. I just signed a new work contract and I’ll be in this city for three years. I figure I can escape Cillian. Only, I can’t. He’s everywhere, and when he wants something he doesn’t stop until he gets it.
