One weakness can change
everything.
Meara and Liam were friends
before they could talk, in love since they could drive, and planning their
future before they graduated high school. In order to start the life
they’ve always dreamed of, Liam just has to finish his tour with the
band.
He doesn’t want
anyone else. Liam’s only ever had eyes for Meara, and he
can’t wait to finally get home to her. But when his dark secret is
exposed and his entire world crumbles around him, he has no choice but to let
her go.
Meara would wait for him
forever. She knows that Liam will always be hers, especially now that she has
an unexpected surprise for him. But just when the life she’s waited
for is in her grasp, she discovers something that destroys her fairytale
ending.
Can two people who are destined
for each other find their future together with mistakes between them? Will
their love be able to repair the heartbreak and
lies?
One night was all it took for
everything to fall apart.
Can one moment be all
that’s needed to repair
it?
“If you
can’t figure it out on your own, I don’t need to give you a
reason.”
Still in denial, I walk toward
her until her back presses against the wall. My forearms rest on either side of
her head. “I do, though. You’re my world, Meara. My reason.
And without you, nothing makes sense. I’m fucking empty inside.
I’m not even whole anymore. I’m a fragment of the man I
used to be.” I rest my forehead on hers and she closes her eyes. I
lower my voice because I’m on the verge of breaking down.
“I can’t eat, can’t sleep, can’t
function. My heart hurts, princess. It feels like it’s being torn in
two and I don’t know how much longer I can survive like this. I need
to know what I did so I can fix this. Fix us. I need to know you still love me
as much as I love you. I need you, Meara. Christ, I can’t fucking
breathe without you.”
Her lids slowly open. Not all
the way, only enough for her to glare at me. “Just because
you’re a lyrical genius doesn’t mean you can talk your way
out of this.”
“I’m not
writing a song. I’m telling you how I feel. How you know I feel about
you. How I’ve always felt about you. Please. What can I do?
I’ll do anything, just talk to me. Please. Anything.” I
don’t even know what I’m begging for. Her forgiveness. Her
trust. Her love. Any and all of it. I’ll take whatever she gives me.
I’m starved for her, and even if it’s only a crumb, if
it’s from her, I’ll swallow it and ask for
more.
Anna began writing when she
thought the world would want to hear her sick lyrics through song. Since then,
she's realized her childhood dream wasn't so far-fetched, just
misguided. Now she writes romance with real emotions and happy endings. If Anna
isn't writing or reading, she can be found by a space heater painting
her nails and drinking a ridiculous amount of Diet Dr Pepper. She also likes to
hang out with her husband and two boys. If it wasn't for them, she
wouldn't ever leave the house. Anna was born in Wisconsin but now lives
in the Evergreen State.
