This Love Left A Permanent Mark
Taylor and Travis were the golden couple - three years of laughter, love, and an effortless kind of magic that turned into vows and promises they meant to keep. When they welcomed their first child, it should have been the happiest chapter of all. But for Taylor, motherhood wasn't a warm glow. It was a storm cloud she couldn't shake, and no matter how hard she tried, she never truly connected with the baby in her arms. As Travis stepped up, doing everything he could to keep their family from cracking, Taylor drifted further away - from the baby, from him, and from herself. The arguments started. The silence stretched. And by their daughter's first birthday, what was once unbreakable completely shattered. Taylor walked away. But fate had other plans. On the way out of town, Taylor's car crashed - and she never made it to wherever she thought she was going. She spent months in a coma, and when she finally woke, she had no memory of the man who once held her heart... or the child she left behind. Now Travis is faced with the impossible: a second chance with the woman who broke him - if only she could remember what they had. And Taylor must confront a truth her body remembers even if her mind doesn't: This love left a permanent mark. Can they rebuild what was lost? Or was their love never meant to survive?Complete![The May Irwin Kiss [Tayvis Fanfiction]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/347743337-256-k89051.jpg)

Taylor Swift just got out of a seven year relationship - it was time to go, she knew it in her bones, but still... her pillows were stained with tears. She'd never imagined herself sleeping alone again, living alone, eating alone or crying alone ever again. Life works in funny ways, and it can take you to places that you never expect.

An eight-year-old little girl with bruises on her wrists and scratches on her cheeks. An eight-year-old little girl named Eloise, who's never known a warm touch or soup when she's sick, or soft toys. Taylor, in learning how to make herself shimmer after only shining with someone else for seven years, has the privilege to help a little girl sparkle for the first time.
