You cannot fathom the weight of an impossible wish until you've held one.

I am comfortably numb. And that's the way I like it.

My world is small, the people I allow in it, few.

It may be selfish, but at least I'm honest.

And I'm honestly not built for love and relationships.

But Barrett Griffin makes me wish I was.

I yearn for things I shouldn't. I steal moments with him, collect memories, and hoard every good, sweet thing he gives me while keeping him firmly in the friend zone.

Because I know I'll screw this up.

The repercussions will be devastating.

And not just for me.

One look and I'm hers.

But her fragile heart trembles in my hands.

She doesn't trust me. More importantly, she doesn't believe in herself.

When crises hit, she lets me in.

And I want all of her. Exactly the way she is.

But for her to move forward, she needs to be whole.

How can I heal what I didn't break?
