Prologue
-Ellie-
“Intense love does not measure, it just gives.”
-Mother Teresa
There’s a saying,you can’t go home again.
This is particularly true for a girl who never really had a home to begin with.
Home is for people with families.
Home is for people with love.
Home is for people with a life.
I had never possessed any of those things. My entire existence had been composed of one bad choice after another.
Until Flynn.
He was my redemption.
My salvation.
He had come into my life when I hadn’t known I needed him. And I had hurt him. Abused him.
Almost destroyed him.
And in turn I had almost destroyed myself.
We were connected in a way that I hadn’t been able to understand until he blew back into my world all those years later and gave me the thing I thought I’d never have.
Home.
Roots.
A place to call my own.
Every story has a beginning.
Flynn was mine.
He was the journey in between.
He shadowed my steps as I struggled to discover the person I wanted to be.
But I knew that when it was all over, Flynn would be there. He was my beginning.
My end.
My home.
My happily ever after.
