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

He watches her and I hold my breath. It’s the first time either Chloe or Ethan have made a move to touch each other, or get close, for that matter. Her hands pause as she stares at him. "There’s a resemblance."


"A little one, yeah." Ethan agrees. "Obviously, the eyes. But, there’s more."


Chloe’s lower lip trembles and I fight the urge to take her in my arms. "I’m so sorry. I fucked up," she says. She doesn’t curse often and the expletive coming out of her mouth momentarily shocks me. But what happens next damn near puts me on the floor.


My best friend wearing a fluffy dress because a little three-year-old girl begged him to, breaks down in tears right there in front of us. Chloe makes the space between them disappear and launches herself at him, wrapping her slender arms around his neck as they both weep in each other’s arms.
