Falling Embers

The moment Calder Cruz taught me how to fly, I fell in love. He was everything to me, even if he was my brother's closest friend.

the only one who could relate to me. My most secure location. Me personally.

Until one night when everything changed and we instantly became strangers.

Years later, I still see him at the fire station every day. I witness him as a single father raising these sweet twin children. However, he is unaware of how difficult it was to watch him move on without me.

How much my love for him still burns.

Everything is altered by a turn of events. Calder comes roaring back into my heart with a vengeance and saves me when my life is in danger. And expresses his unwavering will to stay.

However, there are others who wait in the shadows, just as long-buried flames begin to flare again. And they'll stop at nothing to put out that flame once and for all.
