Don't Let Me Break

by Kelsie Rae

“A broken girl wouldn’t get back up again after being kicked down, Kate. And yet, here you are.”

“Everyone falls, Kate. The trick is to enjoy the ride while it lasts.”

“Don’t you get it, Kate?” Mack whispers. “You’re worth the risk. Worth the fear. Because every single day I get to spend in your presence is a day worth having. Before you, I was lost. Lost in monotony. Lost in my job. And the gym. And the cabin.” “You like all those things,” I point out. “Yeah. But I like them better when I’m with you. I like me better when I’m with you.”
