Our love burned as bright as the red rock desert where we grew up, but we learned the hard way that sometimes love isn’t enough. One choice tore us apart, and we stood by helplessly, watching it burn us to the ground.

I expected him to be the same kind, confident guy he used to be. What I didn’t expect was the fire still raging between us, even after all this time.
