I wear my scars like a scarlet letter, reminding myself that I m not worth the trouble. I ve spent seventeen years pushing men away, never allowing myself to believe in the fairytale then, he walked back in.
Just like before, we explode when we re together. I hate him for what he did to me, but I can t stay away.
Eighteen days filled with passion and promises.
Nineteen letters filled with threats and foreboding.
It only takes twenty minutes for the numbers to all add up.
One thousand, two hundred seconds until everything changes and there s no going back.
This is my story, and it s going to leave a scar."
