Our first date was a disaster, but I couldn’t let him go. I'd been pining for her for more than a decade, and thought I’d messed it up.
One phone call was all it took for me to tempt him to my doorstep. I went to her, faster than lightning, desperate to taste her kiss.
I wanted him to be my only exception, despite all the fear I felt inside. She offered me her trust, and I took it in my hands, desperate to hold on tight.
He became my everything. I’d do anything for her.
He became my wildest dream. I wanted to be in all her fantasies.
My troubled childhood and all my mistakes slipped away because of him. I was born again with her, no longer the recovering addict. No longer a mistake.
Together, we came alive. Together, we learned how to live.
I’d created my own Wonderland, and he was the hero of my new world. She made me believe in our story. She made me want to rewrite my own.
But that’s the thing about love… We forgot to keep our eyes open to the things around us.
We got sloppy. We made mistakes.
The past came knocking, desperate to bring us back down to Earth. Just when I thought I was winning, I was forced to fight again.
Those ghosts had no idea what I’d do for Ethan Walker. Those ghosts underestimated my love for Izzy Moffit.
Together, we had to right our wrongs. Together, we had to survive this. She had no idea what I was willing to do, who I used to be, and what I was capable of when it came to protecting those I loved. She had no idea the lengths I’d go to to give her a happy ever after. My girl had no idea at all.
