The hardest fall is the one you never saw coming.

Control has always come easy to me.

Feelings don’t.

I learned that the hard way with the only woman who’s ever gotten under my skin. What started with curious questions and stolen moments with someone who saw the beauty in my darkness ended in silence.

I spent years convincing myself I’d moved on. That whatever we had was better left buried in the past.

Then she walks back into my life. Only she’s not alone, and the little girl standing beside her has my eyes. My smile. Her stubborn streak.

All my worst fears staring back at me.

I’ve missed years I’ll never get back, and if the woman who left me thinks she’s walking away again? She’s dead wrong. Because this time, I’m done pretending the past doesn’t own me. Even if it means confronting the only thing I’ve never been able to control.
