It was going to be amazing. Dramatic. Perfect.
But sh*t happens, and to me, it happened all at once.
You can’t make this sh*t up or read it in a book.

The way he looked at me,
the way he wanted to take care of me,
And he seemed to have all of the answers, even before I asked the question.
But behind those stunning good looks is a secret…
