I pull away from Harper and just stare at her. The woman that I'd fallen in love with just mere months of her being back into my life.

After Ashley, I thought my heart was dead for good. That it would never beat again for another woman. I was content with just using them for their bodies and then dumping them when I got bored before jumping to another one.

I never saw Harper coming. I wasn't prepared for her arrival and the changes she'd bring back to my life. She was a silent storm. One that consumed me and I let her, because there was just something about her that drew me in.

I look at her now, and I am filled with gratefulness. Thankful that she's decided to give me a chance. To give us a chance. She's everything I've ever wanted. I didn't see it back then because I was blinded by pain and betrayal, but I do see it now, and I'm grateful to whoever it's that granted us a second chance. I internally vow not to take it for granted and to be the man who deserves her.
