The Promise of Together

I never dreamed I’d get a second chance at love. I scarcely believed in it the first time. Then Mads appeared from nowhere during one of the hardest times of my life, and everything I thought I knew about myself, about what I deserved, about who I wanted to become, was turned upside down.
Falling for Mads was the easy part. Learning to trust him took longer. Having faith in myself is a battle I’m still fighting, but finding the courage to confront and make peace with my past is the only way forward.
Mads sees me. The real me. Even the parts I’ve spent a lifetime pretending didn’t matter.
The broken pieces of my childhood are coming back to haunt me. Another mystery. More personal this time, but no less deadly.
They say it’s never too late to change and I’m determined to try. I want a future with Mads at my side, and not getting myself killed beforehand would be an excellent start.
