Mia has lived a life of abuse from her father and ex. She runs away, leaving her old life behind and creating a new one. What happens when she meets a sexy former navy seal? ------------------- As I sit down, I see Aiden staring at me. "Mia, you look really beautiful. Don't get me wrong, you always look amazing. But you're breathtaking" I take a deep breath. "You know...I'm pretty sure friends don't give each other compliments like this." He smirks, "who said we were going to be just friends."

"Who broke your heart so bad, to make you feel this way?", he asked. I laughed, "No one broke my heart, they couldn't have it in the first place". "And why is that?", he asked moving closer. "They'd have to cut open my chest and bang it with a hammer pretty hard, if they wanted to break my heart", I said, standing up, and walking away. Beth Lawrence wasn't a cynic. She wasn't a pessimist, or a defeatist. She was confused. She was confused of why she was confused, concludingly making her even more confused. Beth's world of confusion and negativity excited Adam Finn. Not because he agreed with her, but because he'd managed to even spark a conversation with her in the first place. If anything, Beth's confusion confused Adam the most.
