Where do I even begin with Grace and Parker??She was a shell of a person who was broken and empty from a past that haunts her to this day. A past named Brody. She lives with her best friend Maci who pushes her to live outside her comfort zone and tries to get her to open up as a person. "I get that blonde hair and fair skin is attractive to the human eye, but what's inside is what matters, and I am as hollow as they come."~GraceIn doing so, on her birthday she met Parker.. The attraction was instant and she was frozen by his looks and words but mostly by his actions. They had one night of intense passion and then didn't speak for a week. Don't get me wrong he was falling for Grace and she was making him want to be a better man. But his work had to come first. Work that Grace has no idea he does. "I know I need to get up and walk away. Away from her, but I can't. It's like there's some gravitational pull that I'm trapped in."~ParkerThey reconnected and it was like no time had passed at all. Until one morning after a very drunken night she wakes up to a letter that changes everything. "There is never a good in goodbye and I hate saying it in a letter, but I don't think I have the courage to do it face to face."~ParkerOnce again Grace was left broken and shattered. She swore to never give her heart away again. "I am an empty, shattered mess. Parker healed me and then broke me, leaving me to pick up the pieces alone."~GraceAfter weeks have passed something happens that forces them back together again. To keep this spoiler free, I wont tell you what happens lol.. But Grace finally tells Parker all about the events of her past. Brody used to only live in her nightmares, but they are face to face and that's when everything changes. Parker no longer cares that this relationship may cost him his job. He finally admits he loves her. But will his omitting the truth from Grace cost them everything? "If I learned anything from my past, it was that the moments that should defeat you sometimes fuel you to move forward."~ GraceAs Grace learns all the details about her past, she realizes her entire existence seems like a lie. So much happens in such a short period of time, it almost causes your head to spin."That's the beauty of life though. You learn to love and then give love. It doesn't always come easily, or it may not come fast, but once you've loved, whether it be your partner or child, there is no better feeling in the world."~Grace
