Silent Strings [FayeYoko]

No matter how hard I push, no matter how many times I tell myself I won't go back, there's always that pull--a string that keeps drawing me back to the place I said I'd never return.

I am Yoko Apasra Lertprasert. I buried myself in school, in my father's expectations, in a life that didn't leave room for anything else. I built walls around my heart, convinced that relationships weren't for me, that they'd only bring complications I didn't need.

Faye.

She wasn't even part of the plan. She was someone I never expected to be in my life, especially not like this. I certainly didn't expect my first relationship to be with a woman.

But here I am, caught in a whirlwind of emotions I don't understand, tied to a situation that feels impossible.

Why is it that the things I try to avoid seem to find their way back to me, no matter how hard I fight it?
