She was born to win.
When Emily Finch took her first steps, she didn't walk. She ran.
A prodigy in the making. Her whole life ruled by a ticking stopwatch.
Sweat, blood, tears and secrets.
She would remember her father's words. A prologue to every race; "you don't cross that finish line unless you're first."
Run. Repeat.
But you can only run so far until reality eventually catches up with you.
His name was Harry Styles.
And while everyone else clapped for the girl on the podium, he saw behind the delicately woven mask of lies.
All that glitters is not gold.
But all secrets are weighed down by gold.

For Your Eyes Only [h.s.]
I should have fixed my hair, checked my makeup. I should have made sure the obvious tears that even I didn't realize I had shed were cleaned from my face, but I didn't.

Beneath Your Skin [H.S]
"I know exactly what you like." I swallowed, my throat dry despite the whiskey. "And what does that have to do with your secret?" His lips curved, the faintest hint of a smirk. "Because I think you want someone who can push back." The heat in my stomach curled tighter, and I hated that too. Hated that he was reading me too easily, hated that I couldn't tell if he was just playing or if he really understood. "That's not much of a secret," I said smoothly, keeping my voice even. "Anyone could guess that." "Maybe," Harry mused, his fingers toying with the rim of his glass. "But I don't think just anyone could keep up with you." I narrowed my eyes, my body betraying me with the way it leaned just slightly closer. "And you think you can?" He didn't answer right away. He just held my gaze, letting the anticipation stretch, letting the weight of it settle between us. Then, finally, his smirk deepened. "I guess that depends," he murmured, his voice dropping to something dark. "Are you gonna let me find out?" // August Paisley was born into bloodshed.
