All In With Love by Amber Ford

From the moment we meet, we click. We become friends and feelings emerge. It’s clear as day to anyone who sees us that I love her. We both realize the attraction is there and yet neither of us acts on it. Maybe it’s because we can’t. Maybe we’re scared of rejection. I find myself wanting to be brave enough to be with her but she only deserves the best and I’m scared I’m not that.

For years I’ve had him with me, but not in the way I wanted. Not in the way I craved. All it takes for me to take the plunge is the realization that I could lose him. I’m smart enough to know lightning doesn’t strike twice, and love is far more fleeting than lightning, which is why I’ll fight hard to make him mine. Forever.
