Lady Pacific

Prologue

Had I known that meeting him would be so momentous, I might have chosen to stay home that night. We have no idea how the people we come to know might change our lives or how long it will take to feel that impact. Somehow the not knowing, the not perceiving before it swelled into something we could not control, made our acquaintance all the more significant.

My heart was lost the moment I saw him and I never realized it until I tried to give it to others later on in a spectacular procession of failed relationships. He effectively ruined me for all future attempts at love because my heart was no longer my own to give.

We spent the proceeding years falling in and out of touch with one another, exposing our souls in shocking moments of vulnerability only to selfishly and fearfully shutter them in the next. It has been earth shattering, mind altering, all consuming, and for all the harrowing times I would not trade a single cherished moment.

Our is the greatest love story I have ever known.

I wish it had a happy ending.
