Exhale: Book Two (bxb) ✔️
24 parts Complete MatureLANDON LUNA:
Someone is directly targeting me-making me out to be Elijah Moon's stalker. I'm not. And in an attempt to combat against the person who accused me, I also make choices I immediately regret.
Elijah has been instructed, by me, to stay out of it. I can handle this.
Choices are a funny thing when they're made in the name of protection. I needed to protect him.
Then GlimmerOfHope pops back up, and they're defending me against the madness.
Who is Glimmer?
Should I just tell everyone the truth?
Wait, don't send me to Vegas with Everest while I'm drunk.
Mistakes aren't made, but we definitely make some choices this time.
EVEREST PIERCE:
When I told Landon I loved him without limits and expectations, I saw the glint of uncertainty. And how could I blame him when the world is attacking him so brutally?
My softhearted, compassionate, loving ray of sunshine has a dark cloud looming over him. Landon kept trying to convince me everything is fine when it clearly is not fine.
No matter. I promised him I would stand beside him. And I don't go back on the promises I make. I waited too long to give up. Every time I look at him, I see our happy future together.
I'm a man who's remained silent for far too long, though.
So, when Landon hits his breaking point quickly because the world refuses to leave him alone, I know what I need to do.
I might have been a man who remained silent...
But maybe it's time I break my silence.
And fight for and beside the one I love.
