Excerpt
My scattered
emotions continuously wove themselves around each other chaotically, growing
from a few errant threads of thought into a tangled mess, snagging tighter and
tighter until I was ready to explode.
I began wailing,
and Preston grabbed me by the shoulders, pulled me back, and said, “Destiny,
stop.” But I couldn’t. The tears kept coming. Living without Isaac was like
being held underwater and being told to breathe. I would take water into my
lungs, and it would burn. And eventually, everything would grow dimmer until it
became black.
Preston shook my
shoulders, jarring me from my despair. “Look at me, Destiny.” I cracked open my
eyes and peered into his trustworthy green ones. They were so full of concern.
“He’s not worth your tears. Do you hear me?”
I stared back at
him. Not worth my tears? Did he have any clue what Isaac really meant to me?
“Don’t let him
hurt you worse than he already has. It’s going to be hard for a long time, but
you’re going to survive this.”
“How can you
possibly know that?” What did he know about getting his heart ripped out? He’d
never even had a girlfriend.
A corner of
Preston’s mouth quirked up. “Because the Destiny Clark I know is a fighter.”
