I was madly in love with him... until I met him in person.
Colette
I was never the girl who lacked anything in life. I had a perfect life until my father's plane went down overseas nine years ago. He was declared missing in action and I felt as if I went missing with him. I lost a piece of myself that I knew I would never find again.
Desperate to say goodbye, I posted an anonymous letter, never expecting a response. Then a stranger took a chance and provided the words I needed to start healing. He found me in the deepest waters of my mind and pulled me to shore, showed me that not all that is lost is gone forever.
But what I never saw coming? Once I met him in person, I hated him.
Gage
My life thrived in solitude. The island of myself and my monsters was my sanctuary.
But an anonymous letter left on a bulletin board ruined everything. It was a desperate plea for help that I should have ignored, but I didn't. She was soft and broken, lost in this world, and I was in love with her.
But she could never be mine. She wanted to give me her heart, but all I knew how to do with a heart was break it. She never should have looked for love where she would find only pain.
Because once I met her in person, I wanted to ruin her.
