Hiraeth

Hiraeth: (n) a homesickness for a home you can't return to, or that never was.

When Emma moves to live with Charlie things in her life change. Not only is she suddenly living in the "right" part of the city, but Charlie is also someone who can teach her a thing or two, even if she has sworn that the two of them are just friends. However, once her past comes back to haunt her, she suddenly has to decide who she wants to be before it's too late.

"You're trembling," he says stating the obvious as a hand runs up and down my arm, and I look at him with a scared expression. "I don't bite, Em."

I open my mouth wanting to speak, but no words escape my lips.

"Are you afraid of me?" He asks grabbing my wrist.

"No," I say in a stutter, at least I don't want to be, but my body is speaking a language of its own.

His eyes search mine for any indicator that I want him to stop. "Then let me show you how good I can make you feel."
