Before I Loved You

What if everyone you've ever loved has always let you go?

Living most of my life alone, I've learned to rely on one person.

And one person only.

Me.

But after one night in a bar,

seeking a distraction from a tall, dark, and handsome stranger,

I ended up with more than I bargained for.

Two vivid pink lines on a white plastic stick.

And after finally finding the nameless man who has invaded my dreams for weeks,

I feel ready for this new chapter of my life to begin.

Until the monster from my nightmares appears with a vengeance,

keeping me from the one person in the world

who would never let me go.
