This is the sequel (continuation) of After. Hardin and Tessa's relationship will be tested in ways she never expected, but he knew of all along.

"Sometimes, when two worlds collide, a better one is created and they're both saved."

DISCLAIMER: This story was written in late 2012. I wrote Strings Attached as an adolescent with no idea how a healthy, adult relationship should function. This story is dark and twisted in a way that my teen mind couldn't comprehend at the time. There are more than a few scenes in this book with sensitive content. I--in no way--support rape culture and I do not condone my character's actions. However, as I said, this story was written in an ignorant state of mind. I will not remove this story from Wattpad. It is part of my past and though I am disappointed with the content, it shows how far I've come not just as an author but as a free-thinking adult. Thank you for reading. **Excerpt** "Say... it," She gasped, throwing her head back, cupping my face in her hands so that I was forced to meet her gaze. "You're mine." She held my gaze for a second more, before crushing her lips against my own, arms wrapping tight around my neck, pulling me down to her level. Arms sliding easily around her, she wrapped her legs around me as I lifted her up, lips traveling over her chest and collarbone. She moaned as my hands dug into her tender flesh, pulling on it, their violence a stark contrast to the gentle kisses teasing their way up her neck. Bright lines marked the paths that my nails had etched into her skin, marking her, beautiful red tattoos, spreading out over her entire body. Her small hands knotted in my hair, pulling harder and harder as she fought the urge to cry out...

"Don't you get it harry? We can't be together. We aren't meant to be together. That's why every time we felt safe together some stupid burden has gotten in our way. It's a sign, and I've really been through too much. I don't have the strength to be 'the ones that are forever' like you wanted" My throat caught from all the tears forcing themselves out of my eyes. The desperation in Harry's face was too much for me, so as I walked away and he called after me I let the tears free fall because there was no way to stop them.

Serendipity, lucky encounter by chance. That was the only thing that could explain how Hope and Harry kept meeting. Only Serendipity could forsee Hope and Harry meeting the first time as Harry was banging on his hotel room locked out and stark naked.
