She was so blinded by her need for love so much that she had failed to see the Devil in the details.
It’s crazy how we choose to believe what we want, ignore what we know only to be surprised to get what we should have expected in the first place.
It had been a few days of conversation back and forth and now they were getting to the harder conversations. The ones she had spent so much time avoiding because years later…it was still a hard pill to swallow. She learned that if she avoided any and all reminders of what that one year had brought her she could function fine. She could at least pretend she was- like there wasn’t this deep hole in her heart.
She thought that was hard but being vulnerable with Siren was now stirring up something in her insides.
I don’t know if I can trust this Siren. I don’t trust men too easily. I’ve been here before and the last time that this happened.. errr … everybody crashes and I know that living in the fast lane only makes the impact that much harder. I barely survived the last crash, I don’t know what would happen or who I would turn into if I crashed again.
I’m not 24 anymore.
What does that mean?
I used to run around and I loved the chase. That’s not the case anymore.
