When she waves at me from across the tarmac, I’m done waiting. She’s been mine for years, in a way. Since the day our lives came together and I became her protector. Her guardian. Her rock. She’s fierce and independent. Strong but soft. Willful but needy. She deserves more than me—more than a broken soldier with years of memories fit for nightmares. When she smiles with those plump, pink lips, I can’t ignore my feelings anymore. I want to guide her, teach her and smack that asset of hers, feeling the warmth of her skin on my hand. I'm following my heart because it’s been broken for too long and she’s the only one that can fix me. But, I need to protect her against one final enemy. Or else a dark, dangerous secret will steal my light from me forever.
