The painful ache settles deep in my bones, making it harder to fight against her alluring pull. Until I no longer have it in me to resist. After we step over boundaries better left uncrossed, it becomes clear that I can never let her go. Even as our worlds crumble around us, we have to find some way to make it work. There is no other option for me, because she is mine. What will happen to us when too many mistakes are made and we can no longer call the city our home?
