Addicted to You: A Love Too Deep to Suppress

That year, at twenty-eight, I was raising my childhood sweetheart's four-year-old child on my own when I unexpectedly met him, a twenty-year-old. My ex-husband's sudden disappearance on our wedding night, followed by the divorce papers he mailed back, left me shattered and unable to believe in love again. My life had been as still as a dead sea, but the moment I met him, everything changed. He saw the strange looks from society, heard his parents scold and insult me, watched my ex-husband return and pester me, and noticed the ambiguous way my childhood sweetheart acted. All of it was plain to him. His youthful eyes held a jealousy and possessiveness that made my heart tremble. In the years to come, you had already seeped into my heart. You could never be replaced or forgotten. I could only let you spread through me, slowly blooming where my heart lay.
