The Hardest Fall

by Ella Maise

“Choose me, Zoe.”

“Leave him,”

“I’m right here and I want you, so damn much. I’m not sure how much more I can take.

“My heart beats differently for you. It feels different somehow. I know this probably doesn’t make sense, but…it beats louder, wilder when I see you.”

“I’ll catch you when you land, Flash. Just don’t take too much time, because I’m already there, impatiently waiting for you.”

We chose each other, and we’d keep choosing each other long after we took our last breaths on this earth. Zoe Clarke was my forever, the love of my life, and I was hers.
