Sans Cesse
"I don't know if I loved him or survived him. Maybe it's the same thing" He set fire to the world but never let a flame touch her. Aria is an English philosophy student chasing reinvention in Paris; a city romanticised by poets, but cruel to the lonely. Behind her sharp tongue and steady stare, is a woman shaped by absence and aching for intensity, connection, purpose. Tired of running, but terrified of staying still. She tells herself she's cold. She tells herself she's untouchable. Harrison is brilliant, sharp, unknowable. The kind of man who disappears mid-sentence, who walks like he's carrying sins he'll never confess. You don't fall in love with Harrison, you fall into him. With a past soaked in violence and a heart barricaded by guilt, he lives in exile from the world, and from himself. The last thing he ever wanted was to be seen. Drawn together by fate, or fatal flaw, they orbit one another like lit matches and gasoline. It isn't love, not yet. It's something more dangerous: recognition. And when the flame becomes a fire, who will get burnt? This isn't their story, it's yours. You've been here, haven't you? Where love feels like war, and silence is a kind of violence. Where you knew it would break you, and you still begged for more. Read on, if you're brave enough to feel yourself burn.

This is the story of the girl who believed in signs and the boy who didn't.. until she became one. A story of distance, pride, laughter and everything that came before the world knew their names.

How can I turn this around? How can I tell you that everything you want and feel is reciprocated, when I have to go back to work and pretend none of it happened?' 'I don't know the answer!' I cried. 'Neither of us do.' I threw my hands up in defeat. He caught them before they could fall. 'But how do I go back to living without your words?' His voice became a whisper. He squeezed my fingers tightly, closing his eyes and bringing them to his chest. 'I need how you make me feel, Luiza. I need it to feel alive. I won't stay away. No one's made me feel this good before. And I can't stand myself for wanting what I want. What do I do?' I was a violin bow on the verge of splintering.

A thousand different lifetimes to choose from, stemming from and decided entirely by my next choice. And in the end, I chose incorrectly.
