Shadows Never Leave by Lark Taylor

I can’t leave Ryan Davies behind any more than I can my own shadow.
It’s been ten years since Ryan turned his back on me and walked away. A decade of living my life without him. Dreaming of him. Longing for him. Craving him.
But I made a promise to him that night. A vow that one day, I’d be back to claim him. Because he is my shadow. Mine – and I won’t ever let him forget it.
It’s all boiled down to this moment. There’s nothing standing in the way of our future happiness.
Aside from Ryan’s fiancée.
I’ll sacrifice anything to have him in my life again. I’m going to remind him that love burns brightest in the dark. No-one can make Ryan happier than I can.
All I have to do is prove it to him before he stands at the end of the aisle.
Waiting for someone else.
I’ll wait in the shadows until he’s ready to accept what I already know.
That we belong together.
