Monday: A Contemporary Romance With Angst

I don’t believe in destiny. <br /> <br />In fate. <br /> <br />Or in soul mates. <br /> <br />But I believe in Hawke. <br /> <br />My life has never been whole since my parents left forever. I have my brother, someone I can barely tolerate most of the time, and I have my best friend, Marie. <br /> <br />And I have myself. <br /> <br />But when Hawke walks into my life, there’s an immediate connection. Our eyes lock and an unspoken conversation is exchanged. For the first time in my life, I actually feel something. <br /> <br />But he doesn’t. <br /> <br />He keeps me at arm’s length and pretends there’s nothing between us when there clearly is. I’m not the kind of girl to wait around for any guy, so I don’t. <br /> <br />But that doesn’t mean he isn’t in the back of my mind. <br /> <br />Our paths cross again in a way neither one of us expect and it changes everything. Was it destiny that made it happen? Was it fate? <br /> <br />Or was it something else? <br />
