Reality is breaking hearts again. It crept up on her—this turmoil in her chest, this deep, unshakable yearning for something unknown, something she shouldn't want. The same song and dance she's used to, but this time, she's singing in whispers, for someone else, choosing to waltz with a fire forbidden.

But what happened doesn't mean she loves him any less. He's still her anchor when she's adrift, her rational mind when hers is lost. He's still there, watching over her even in the shadows of her chaos, even when she's at her worst, a ghost walking through the wreckage. He's always there, at the edge of her world, waiting. His power over her is undeniable—or maybe it's her dangerous love for him that holds them both captive. He speaks without words, his silence heavier than the deepest secrets. His gaze pulls her closer, drawing her in long after they should've let go. Words suffocate her, but still, she bares her soul to him, confessing truths she's hidden for years. It's too much and still, not enough. She knows it's wrong to want him so badly, to need his heart and mind, to name him her greatest love and her greatest mistake—her most sacred, forbidden secret.

Her treacherous heart craves what her mind knows she cannot have.

Follow her heart, yes, but the way is far from clear, and it was never meant to be.
