Excerpt:
As they lay next to each other, heart beats sync as they embrace. Diane moved her head just a fraction of an inch and whispered, “I love you,” before her eyes shuttered closed and her breathing evened in slumber.
I love you.
The words echoed through Nora’s head like a wrecking ball breaking down the walls she had spent years building.
