That One Moment

by C.S. Autumn

“We’re a mess,” Caiden jokes, his voice hoarse and I hum a response under my breath. Not really sure if he means physically or in general. Quite possibly both.

“Love isn’t a finite, tangible thing that we give away once and then it’s gone. It’s infinite and renewable and available in abundance.

And it is scary because we don’t know what’s around the corner, but you can’t let fear hold you back.”

I can’t promise you forever, because we both know that’s not a promise anyone can make. But I can promise you every breath and every beat of my heart.”
