And it feels good.

Because it makes me feel something other than empty.

Mia stormed into my life and created a chink in my armour. She’s crawled under my skin and nestled against the burning heat beneath.

The past is catching up and soon I’ll have to confess. I will have to tell her the truth and make her face the monster I really am.

All I have to do is find her first.
