Isaiah was safe. No one in the world could make me tell them what had happened at that cabin in the mountains. Because now, I was his wife.
It was the first time in a long, long damn time I’d truly been at ease. She did that . . . She’d made this a safe space. For us both.
Isaiah looked in the mirror and saw everlasting broken pieces, but maybe my broken pieces would fit with his.
If my heart left her breathless, then hers gave me a reason to breathe.
Day by day, I was falling in love with the lie.
