Capacity by Danielle James

The love of my life was dead.
I was shrouded in darkness everywhere I looked
The only cure for my pain seemed to lie at the bottom of a bottle.
I would have been content to wash the rest of my life away with liquor.
But sometimes fate has other plans…

Lumi Foster was everything I needed and wanted
She was a bright light in the middle of my pitch-black world
But I couldn’t give her what she deserved.

She was hiding scars deeper than I could ever understand.
How could I help her when I couldn’t even help myself?
We vowed to remain friends and keep it that way.
I didn’t have the capacity to be anything more to her.

It wasn’t until I was faced with losing her to demons from her past that I woke up and realized
I’d fight the world for her love
And if it meant keeping her in my life forever, I’d make sure I won every time.
