AMANDA

I’m almost afraid to believe, to hope. I want it so bad that I just know something’s gonna come along and snatch it away from me, something always does.

I haven’t allowed myself to want anything in a long time, because I’m always afraid. It’s better to just go through life day by day keeping my head down and surviving the best I could.

When I snuck away to that shelter in the next town over for help, I had no idea that anything like this would be waiting for me.

The day I received the call that Lance had been released early, I’d just thrown some things in a bag and hightailed it out of town under cover of darkness. I hadn’t even had time to tell anyone where I was going, which come to think of it was a good thing.

Not too many people knew that the shelter was a front for something bigger, and I’ll say a prayer of thanks everyday for the nurse that had snuck me the info the last time that ass had put me in the hospital.

I was just fighting hard to survive in this world that had already given up on me. If I could just find a place to hole up until I get back on my feet was the most I was hoping for.

How was I to know that my forever was waiting for me here? Or that it would be so hard to grab ahold of it?

As I moved around the kitchen that I’d come to think of as my own personal domain, I realized that it had been days if not longer since I’d given Lance a thought.

That in it-self was enough of a reason to accept Caleb’s proposal of marriage. That he could make me forget the most horrible time of my life was a huge accomplishment.

That I fell asleep in his arms at night without a worry or care in the world, after spending the last four years living in fear of closing my eyes, seemed unreal.

The fact that I was crazy in love with him just made the whole thing all the better. And the sex, if that’s what you could call it, was unlike anything I’d ever known or even imagined was possible.

After the brutish treatment I suffered at the hands of the monster I was once hitched to, it was almost surreal to find someone who touched me like I was the most precious thing in his world.

Since the first time we made love, a day hasn’t gone by that we haven’t been together intimately. Even in the afternoons sometimes, Caleb would sneak away and we’d spend hours in bed lost in each other.

I’m pretty sure that the others were onto us, but they never let on, and instead were even kinder and a tad bit more over protective of me; which drives Caleb up the wall when they hover.

It was all happening so fast too, he barely gives me time to think, but now things were getting serious.
