Kweenie

Cage fighter and brother to the devil of Finridge, Leo Woo is no stranger to the dangers of the underground. 

Elementary schoolteacher and the daughter of two adoring mothers, Sunniva Wallace is as kind and pure as they come. 

One wouldn't assume that two polar opposite individuals would have ever crossed paths, let alone that Leo was Sunniva's first student. 

Twist and turns and family drama ensues as the two meet again years later in a local grocery store.

What a curse it is to love the Sun.

Cursed by the Sun

I bite my cheek to keep from weeping as I wait on the sofa. 


I hear the sound of his boots on the wooden floor and I hold my breath as it gets louder. 


"Please just go." My voice is hoarse from crying. 


He releases a deep sigh before continuing past me. 


When I hear the door close I finally let it out. All of it. The hurt of his words, the embarrassment for calling Mato a liar, the pain I felt when I spotted the smudged ink on his hand. It hits me like a bus. 


Gran always said I was lucky for being so in touch with my emotions, even at a young age, but this is too much. It's like a wave of anguish and I'm drowning, I can't breathe. 


How could he ever think I thought of him as something I needed to fix? 


Ella accused me of that once. She asked if that's what attracted me in the first place. A lot of people size up our relationship the same way but they're so very wrong.
