You want the truth?The truth is there’ll never be enough time in the world to figure out how to go back.
I’ll never come up with a way to change the outcome.
The truth is I don’t need to hear I have a son.
I can’t deny it’s real because he’s the living, breathing proof my life is out of control.
But the truth is I love him.
The truth is it’s just him and me for the foreseeable future…
Until I met a girl who crossed my heart and changed it all.
Emelia was a bright star in my abandoned sky, and it would take a miracle to keep her there.
I’ll fight for miracles, though, because losing them would mean losing pieces of me.
I can’t take my eyes off her as she leaves my apartment. I want nothing more than to go after her, but I don’t. Why do I feel this way? Why her? What is it about her that makes me want her? I don’t have the answer. All I know is she’s the first girl I’ve ever wanted to keep.
