Everyone has scars, pasts, and painful realities that they are fighting for deep down within themselves. But sometimes pain is never enough and there come moments when you just can't stand the universe. 

After six years of constant failure, consistent trying, and disappointment, Claire was hopeless when it came to finding Markus. Devoted her youth in just one task yet became one of the successful personality of the business world. Always void of emotions and only one person she ever had as a family, she never lived her life. But things started to get excited when Ryan came barging into her life with only being 20 minutes late. It's the story of two completely different souls, hunting through the stages of love, bickering, and painful pasts, only to crave for each other. 

A story that held two souls too close to each other yet so far from each other. But will Claire ever be able to love someone after Scarlett and Markus? Can she ever face Ryan with her truth? What that truth even was? But the real question was that how much could Ryan actually take? And what if someone endangers their lives when love becomes inevitable?

Too Close to Be Yours

The cold wind blew past my face as I got out of the car. I watched Claire as she tightened her cardigan around her, tucking her hair behind her ear she came towards me. 


"I am still unable to understand what this place is." She said looking around. 


I tugged her hand and grabbing it I started walking ahead. I loved how the warmth of her hand spread through my whole body, giving me shivers. 


"Come along. You will find out." I said. We walked inside the building, walking through the small hallway we stepped into the stable. I turned my head to watch her reaction. There was a beautiful smile on her face and her eyes were filled with adoration. Thank goodness she liked this place. 


"Oh my gosh! This place is awesome." She said walking further into the stable. 


"Really? For a moment I thought you're going to say that you dislike horses." I said going behind her. 


"Are you kidding me? I love horses." She replied as she stood by one of the cabins.
