Fractured Lives

Love brought us together, but will it be enough to hold us together when everything comes crashing down?

Svetlana

Brandon is my safe place, my solace in a world haunted by shadows of the past.

With him, I've found love that burns brighter than anything I've ever known.

But the scars I carry aren't so easily erased.

The closer we get, the harder it becomes to hide the pieces of myself I'm still too afraid to show.

When he asks me to take the next step, I say yes-but I'm not ready for the world to know.

I tell myself it's for Alex and Natalie, but deep down, I know the truth is far more complicated.

Brandon

Svetlana is everything I've ever wanted.

Fierce, passionate, and so beautifully vulnerable. She's let me in, but I can see the walls she hasn't let fall.

I'm trying to give her the space she needs, but every time I hold her, I feel the weight of what she's not saying.

When she agreed to be mine, I thought we'd finally found our forever.

But now, it feels like we're standing on borrowed time.

The past is catching up to us, and it's pulling us toward a future I don't know if we're ready to face.

The road ahead will test us in ways we never imagined.
