  He made me begin to believe again.
  As a woman, I believed in the possibility of love and passion between myself and Aden.
  Until he was gone and with him, my belief in magic and happy endings.

  When she was a child, I was tasked with her protection.
  As a girl, I became her friend.
  As a woman, I could no longer see the child I knew and was forced to fight a growing attraction.
  Unable to lie and unable to tell the truth, I left.
