Fake it 'til you make it has been the motto I live by since my mother died.

I'm also doing a really bad job at the making it part.

The night we met, I was at my lowest.

But you gave me a reason to feel happy again.

For the first time in over a year, I was optimistic.

You and I? We're the same. Don't form attachments. Follow the rules. Don't dream of a future.

Too bad our hearts wouldn't listen.

And this storm we're going through? The one that threatens to rip us apart?

It doesn't care that I'm falling for you.

Falling for You

"Right." Her quick agreement makes me grin. Always so honest. "Also, I’m eating the last piece," she says unapologetically. In fact, I’m pretty certain if I tried to take it, she’d bite my hand off. I’ve never seen a woman be able to polish off so many slices of pieces in such little time. It’s impressive. And a bit sexy, too.


Tonight, I planned to tell her I have an idea of how she can get her salon but now that I’m in her cozy home, sitting on her soft couch and cuddling with her asshole cat who’s already accepted me, and we have two bags full of food to munch on the rest of the night, I just want to lean back into her cushy couch and watch TV.


"Of course. And Hulu, too. I don’t have cable anymore."
