Flawed

My past defined my present after my world crumpled. Left with crippling grief.
I’m broken, flawed and guarded.
I now lived by stringent rules:
Guard your mind.
Avoid crowds.
Shun love.

Until she walked into my life.

It’s the haunted eyes.
The sultry voice.
The sweetness under her armor

Everything about her captivates me. I can’t resist her, even when there’s also something dark underneath her beautiful eyes.

She’s the one person who makes me want to push my mental boundaries.

I thought I couldn’t let anyone this close, but is it worth taking the risk?
