Echoes Of Me

She Craves The Truth. He Holds It.

I’ve been alone all my life.

Growing up in care with a past I can’t remember. 

I want to know who I am. I want to understand my history.

But it’s forgotten. Lost in the dark forest of my mind that I can’t seem to access. 

It’s a secret I keep to myself. 

Until Ethan Henry James Ford.

My new boss makes me feel safe. Sexy. Wanted. 

Every glance, every touch, every whispered word, he makes me believe we could have a future where he would be my everything. 

But he’s lying. 

He knows my truth. He knows about my past, and he knows who I really am. 

Instead of telling me and unlocking a past I crave to understand, he keeps it to himself. 

Believing he’s protecting me, when really, he’s breaking my heart. 

I run. Straight into danger when my past shows up, demanding something I didn’t even know I had.

And the question is, will the man I love fight for us? 

Or will the echoes of my past finally catch up with me?
