The love of my life. My heart and soul. Now, I'm back. Back in the same place I fled from. Back where the memories threaten to swallow me whole. But I've changed. I'm not the same girl I used to be. I'm stronger. And holding in a secret that might be my demise... ~ Frank ~ When Tabitha walked out of my life with little more than a word, I was angry and intent to move on. Gone is the boy who was following the unhappy path my parents wished for me. In his place is a man striding towards his dreams and encouraging others to do the same. Then, she's back. Tabitha. The woman I gave my heart to and never got back. But Tabitha isn't the same girl either. She's hiding something. I want to be there for her, but I don't know if I can be this time. After her world crumbles around her, I'm afraid she'll leave again... I won't survive it this time.
