It strikes me then that I’ve never known all- consuming love until this day, until him, and I’m positive I will never know it like that again. I found my truth in love just seconds before it was ripped from me. A curse, a damning fate, to be in love with a man I was supposed to view as my rival who instead stole my heart. And he’s just destroyed any trust I might have had for him by laying down all of his cards, and only because his hand was forced.
