Perfection. One word. Three syllables. Every reason why I’ll never
have the one thing I truly want. I stand dutifully on the pedestal he’s built,
waiting for the day he truly sees me.

the next day.
Years have passed, and I’ve tried to move on with my life. But I
still dream of him. I still miss him everyday. The memories haunt me. How can I
look to the future when my past remains a mystery? The time has come to find
the boy who stole my heart and ran away without a word.
But not everyone who is lost wants to be found.
My name is Alexandra Fontaine, and this is my story of unfinished
love.

Excerpt
I shift closer to him and wrap my
arms around his waist. I lay my head on his chest and breathe him in. His
shoulders relax, if only slightly. The need to comfort him is overwhelming. I
want to wash it all away for him, hold the world at bay while I erase the worry
permanently etched in his forehead.
“Everything is going to be okay,
West. I just know it,” I lie. I don’t know that everything will be okay. I
don’t know anything at all.
We sit in electrified silence, the
crackling of dead leaves under us the only sound. I memorize the feel of him,
the smell of him, the rhythm of his breathing. I’m lost in the moment, already
anticipating the loss that’s to come.
“I leave in a month.”
The words cut through the silence
like a judgment. Instead of hurt, I’m filled with resolve. I won’t let him push
me away anymore. I’m done playing by his rules.
I rise up to meet the storm brewing
in his eyes. His hand wraps firmly around my neck, and his eyes dart hungrily
to my lips. I swallow nervously and refuse to look away.
If
he turns his head or pulls my hair, I swear I’m going to tackle him to the
ground.
I lean in hopefully, somewhat
expectantly, and close my eyes. His warm breath dances across my lips, and my
every prayer is answered. He presses his mouth firmly to mine and stills,
almost memorizing the moment.
That one small touch is the
beginning of the most memorable kiss of my life. It’s hello and goodbye, I love
you, I’ll miss you, and everything in between.
He sucks my bottom lip, and I
inhale sharply, completely overcome. His hands dive into my hair, and his
tongue slides against mine just once before he pulls away. He touches my
forehead to his and chuckles softly.
“What have we been waiting for all
this time?”
“You,” I whisper breathlessly,
“I’ve been waiting for you.”
My admission is all he needs. He
devours me, a tangle of lips, teeth, tongues, and hands. I don’t know where I
end and he begins. I’m exhilarated and relieved all at once.
I run my hands down his arms and
grip his wrists tightly. I pull away and look into his hooded eyes.
“Tell me something, West. Tell me something
I don’t know.”
He runs a thumb over my swollen
lips while he studies me. I’ve never felt more loved, more worshipped.
“I can’t imagine a world without
you in it. No matter where I am, I’ll always dream of you. It’ll have to be
enough.” He places soft, scorching kisses up my neck until he reaches my ear.
“God, I don’t think it’ll ever be enough.”
