*~*Love Notes: Cain to Celia – Storms Over Secrets by J.A. DeRouen*~*
Promises are lies dressed up for the party.
Secrets poison the fairest of fairy tales.
Lies stain the purest of loves.
I’ve paid the ultimate price for my choices. The tendrils of those sins bind me to my past. The remnants of my love hold me captive.
Then he walks into my life and makes me believe in second chances. He awakens feelings in me I know I shouldn’t have. I yearn for a future without guilt. With him, I dream of a love untainted.
Regret is a far reaching emotion. It barrels through time like a blazing comet, and its path isn’t always straight. No matter what I feel, I cannot bring myself to regret the time I’ve spent with Cain.
But it doesn’t mean I can have him.
My name is Celia Lemaire, and this is my story of broken promises.

Today is the day – the day that the man I love marries someone else. I don’t deserve pity or sympathy. I’ve made my bed. I left Mason and ripped his heart to pieces as I ran away. The guilt and sorrow consume me, threatening to choke me everyday.
But today is a new beginning. Today is the day I will wake up with a renewed resolve and determination to do better … to be better … to be worthy. My name is Sara Preston, and this is my story about what happens after.
Perfection. One word. Three syllables. Every reason why I’ll never have the one thing I truly want. I stand dutifully on the pedestal he’s built, waiting for the day he truly sees me.
Then one amazing night, he lets down his walls, only to leave me the next day.
Years have passed, and I’ve tried to move on with my life. But I still dream of him. I still miss him everyday. The memories haunt me. How can I look to the future when my past remains a mystery? The time has come to find the boy who stole my heart and ran away without a word.
But not everyone who is lost wants to be found.

Celia,
You deserve a poet to write you beautiful love sonnets … a musician to sing ballads of undying devotion. You deserve an artist who would erect masterpieces with you as his muse.
You deserve all those things …
Sometimes, it feels like fumbling words and awkward gestures are all I have to offer you. It kills me to admit it, but I can’t always give you what I think you need.
But I know you, and I know us. And I know what we can do together.
We can build a love stronger than any words.
We can build a family more beautiful than any lyrics.
And we can build a legacy bolder than any brushstrokes.
We can do anything, Tink, as long as we do it together.
I’m a simple man, with complex feelings about a girl with daisies in her hair and glitter on her toes. My love is true, my devotion is strong, and my thoughts will always wander to you.
Love,
Cain
