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

I felt like I was having an out-of-body experience when I returned to work after the weekend. It was as if I was floating above myself. I watched the Evie below cook pastries and ring up customers. I knew that I was physically there, working like I would any other day, but my mind was somewhere else entirely. 


Multiple places, actually. My thoughts were a jumbled mess of confusion and decisions I had to make, and when I let myself spiral into those black holes, the world felt like it was caving in on me. 


I thought about Finn, and how we hadn’t spoken since our conversation on my front porch. Not even a single text. I guess both of us were taking this time apart literally. I thought about what he insinuated happened in Tucson, and how even though he didn’t actually say it, I knew he didn’t trust me. I honestly had no clue what to do with that information.
