"I love you. I love you more than anything." He told me with hope and passion in his eyes. "I-if you lo-love me, then you'll l-let me g-go." I stuttered. He shook his head and chuckled to himself. He ran his hands up my arms causing me to shiver. They found their way to cupping both of my cheeks making me look at him. He looked down on me considering he is at least a head taller than me. I looked at him with teary eyes waiting for a response. "Don't you get it?" he started. "I love you so much that I'm selfish. I can't let you go. I know that deep down you love me as well. We are meant to be together."

a story in a poem of a distance love relationship. Of differences and how it ended

Hope Montoya knows someone is poisoning her, but who? She suspects her mother was also poisoned and knows her father was murdered. Who wants her family eliminated? She vows to fight! She realizes she won’t last the eight months until she turns twenty-five and her uncle no longer controls her or her estate. Never will she be dominated by a man as she was by her father, as she has seen her mother and grandmothers dominated. If she marries, she gains control now, but only if she weds a man she can trust. Only one man meets her requirements. Can she trust him to protect her and capture the killer...but then to leave? Micah Stone has been in love with Hope since the first time he saw her. But he was accused of her father’s murder and surely would have hung if not for his two brothers’ aid. Most in the community still believe him guilty. But the drought has him too worried about water for his dying cattle to care about his neighbors’ opinions. When Hope proposes a paper marriage in exchange for land on the Brazos River and much needed cash, her offer rubs his pride raw. His name may be Stone, but he’s not made of it. He can’t refuse her for long, and so their adventure begins. He and Hope have to stay alive and discover the killer before they become victims in the deadly assaults.
