The Facade

Nico

Maybe I am possessive. Maybe I do have an obsession when it comes to her. Maybe I want her so badly I can't think of anything else. Spending months following her after a one-night stand isn't sane behavior. It isn't healthy. But I can't stop. Until my obsession outweighs my need to keep her safe from my life. From myself. But the more I get to know her, the harder I fall in love with her. The harder I fall in love with her, the more I notice her struggle with herself and just how well she fits into my world. But at what cost?

Getting back into the dating scene after my divorce was never supposed to start with a one-night stand that ghosted me. Deciding to continue to focus on myself, I get my writing career off the ground and take up teaching at the local dance studio. Until a happenstance has my world colliding with his again. Or so I thought. I learn so much about myself as I navigate the world, which he tried to shield me from. Maybe I can thrive in this environment. Maybe I can be the woman he wants and the woman I need to be.
