Scarred

Her scar haunted the man as he realized he was falling in love. The girl's name was Emma Woods, but for some reason, she never strayed far from the trees that laid shadows over head. Though he didn't know her darkest secrets, he longed to be with her forever and she longed to be with him. "Why don't you leave the forest? And what's with that silly scar on your face?" The man asked when he and the girl first met. "I'd rather not say. Some secrets are meant to stay secrets, not be spoken." The man would often tell his friends about the lovely girl he met in the woods, but she would always disappear when he tried to introduce them to her. Though Maverick fears embracing the unknown, that's what Emma longs for him to do before telling him the truth about the scar on her face that's unsettled him since the first day that they met.
