My heart pounded so loud I was afraid he could hear it...It was like his calming presence wrapped its arms around my body, cradling me until I felt like I never had to worry about anything ever again. I craved for more of that feeling and found myself moving closer to him. We were just inches away from touching, the heat from his body a scorching tingle along my skin.

She defies Fate and follows her heart, but when her world comes crashing down, her beliefs in Fate and love are put into question. Will Evie continue to fight against Fate's wishes, going after her secretive love?

TWIST OF FATE

We made it to Tucson by one, so we decided to stop by a local diner for lunch since we had some time to kill. 


“What time is your film playing at the festival?” I asked in between bites of curly fries. 


“Well, the whole thing starts at two, but mine won’t be up until four. So, I figured we could get there when it starts. Once we watch mine, we can either stay and watch a few more or hit the road and head back. I don’t want to get you home too late.”


There he went again, being so concerned about everyone else. “Yeah, that’s probably a good idea, because if my parents think something happened to me, you’re definitely losing your job.”


Caleb smiled, finishing off his grilled cheese. “Well, I wouldn’t want that. Then I’d have to find a new idea about my documentary, and I’m already so invested in the Whitman’s Pastries one.”
