Waiting For You(ON HOLD)

Dakota Bridges needs a sign she hasn't fucked up everything in her life. Shut-off notices are piling on the kitchen counter. Shifts at work are getting longer. There's a voice whispering in her ear to give up, but she won't, and she can't. If she does, she's returning to Iowa and a seven-year relationship she broke off via text message. There's no turning back. It's all or nothing.

Except she realized she packed up the demons she was desperate to escape from. It's not that she thought the trauma wouldn't follow, but she hoped fleeing to a new city would at least make it more manageable.

So, what happens when she meets Tristian Thompson, a man determined to change her outlook on life? He's willing to do anything to make her happy, but what if she continues choosing her past? Sometimes it's easier to be comfortable in your pain than it is to heal.

It doesn't matter how much you love someone. Sometimes it's never enough to make them love themselves. All you can do is be there and hope they realize they deserve better. Even if better isn't you.
