“I need to do things differently next time. I need to do it properly. I have to make sure I know who I am letting in my life. I thought I knew Kai, but I only ever knew the side he wanted to show me. I was so desperate to feel loved that I accepted it, despite the little bells going off in my brain. I want the chance to live the love stories I have spent my life reading and dreaming about. I owe myself that. I refuse to put myself through that pain again.”
