Love endures all things.
Darby McKenzie’s heart started beating funny the day that she
met Trace Chamberlain. She was four, he was five, and that meeting altered the
course of both their lives forever.
Trace was born into a nightmare. Before meeting Darby and her
family, the only love he ever knew was that of his twin brother. The two of
them endured years of abuse that left scars. The permanent kind.
For Trace, meeting Darby was like catching a rainbow. She
exploded into his life in a pop of Technicolor that awakened his senses. She
wasn’t just his best friend—she was his life. His touchstone, his safety, his
heart—she was everything.
Darby had been through it all with Trace and her love for him
never wavered for a second. But no amount of love could make Trace believe that
he was worthy of her. Knowing that she deserved better, Trace pushed her away,
when what he really wanted was to pull her closer. Emotionally destroyed and
bitter from the back and forth, Darby finally let go and decided to move on.
Sometimes hitting rock bottom is the only way to understand
that you need to change. Realizing that losing Darby means losing everything,
Trace sets out to fight for the love of his life.
Is it too late for Darby and Trace to have a happily ever
after?
Excerpt
“We can talk every day on the phone or by text and Skype,
right?” he asked anxiously.
I knew if I said yes, he’d call every day. Distance would be useless if I didn’t put my
foot down.
“Once a week,” I told him.
“Pick a day and we’ll talk then. This is our time to redefine our
relationship.”
“I don’t want anything to change,” he complained. “I don’t want to see less of you or spend six
fucking days a week not hearing your voice. Even thinking about doing it makes
me feel sick.”
I understood how he felt because I was experiencing all the
same anxiety, but I stood my ground.
“This is the way it needs to be for a while,” I
answered. “You can like it or lump it, but
I’m not backing down. Call me next Friday.”
When I went to leave, I let him hug me because friends
hugged. I counted off five seconds and
then pulled away. He tried to hold
tighter, but I wiggled away. The
benefits of being strong meant that he couldn’t keep me where I didn’t want to
be.
“We can’t hug?” he asked in a panicked tone.
“We can,” I said calmly.
“When I hug Tristan, it’s probably a two or three second process. I gave you five. Friends don’t hug for minutes at a time
unless there’s a crisis.”
“This is a crisis! You’re fucking leaving me.”
I knew then that drawing it out any more was only going to
make things worse. There were times when
cutting something short was the way to go, and that moment was one of them.
“This isn’t a crisis,” I refuted calmly. “This is a reality. I’ll talk to you next week. Take care of yourself.”
I kept my chin up as I walked away, and I ignored him when he
called out my name three separate times.
