Forever and All the Afters

Forever and All the Afters

<b> He promised me forever. </b><br /><br />Then he boarded a plane for a college a thousand miles away and never returned. A decade later there’s a ring on my finger with a new promise from a new love.<br /><br />Just as my life falls into place, pretty as the pages of a magazine, my world is knocked over. The moment he touches me everything around me begins to crack, exposing all the lies I’ve told myself.<br /><br />Every glance reminds me. Every touch ignites.<br /><br />Things aren’t how they used to be. <br /><br />Love isn’t easy.
