My fate

"All I've ever desired is a peaceful life, one I can savor with someone who fills my heart with joy and a sense of safety," Athena often mused.
When diagnosed with glioblastoma, Athena resolves to live life on her own terms, gradually coming to terms with her impending mortality, but fate has other plans; In a whirlwind of pure love, heartache, and betrayal, Athena's world is turned upside down as she delves into her past traumas and uncovers a long-lost love.
It seems that no matter how swiftly you run, destiny's shadow is always just a step behind.

As our eyes locked, it felt as though time itself paused, suspended in the unspoken exchange between us, the intensity of his gaze drew me in, unraveling layers of curiosity within me with each fleeting moment we held each other's eyes.

"you have a girlfriend?" i blurted out.

Good job athena. good job.

he looked at me with his eyebrows slightly raised.

"well you know-" i started trying to find an excuse, "people ask these things, w-when they're trying to become f-friends and stuff.." i trailed off like an idiot.

"Yeah?" he let out, a smirk never leaving his face.

He has such a beautiful smile.

"Just so she wouldn't get the wrong idea" as if i already haven't made it worse, i just continued, "y-you know, u-um these things do happen s-sometimes" i kept speaking not making any sense.

"what wrong idea?" He folded his arms across his chest, causing the fabric of his shirt to tighten over the contours of his muscles.

I swallowed harshly.

"forget it" i waved my hand around as i looked down at my cup to avoid his gaze, but i couldn't quiet down my curiosity so i peered at him through my lashes.

His face was full of amusement but he hid it well.
