It’s so much worse than I imagined, but at the same time, it’s better too.

Violet has been to hell and back, repeatedly, but she’s still here… living and breathing… she’s alive.

She’s a fighter and I believe she’s already made it through the worst of what life will throw at her.

Looking at her, such a bright, beautiful woman, you’d never guess the horrors she’s endured – the opponents she’s taken on and won.

There are already so many things I can think of that I want to ask her in regards to what she’s been through, but I don’t.

There will be plenty of time for that later. I’m not going anywhere and if I have my way, neither will she.

I’m in this for the long haul, and if she thinks that her heart is going to make a difference to the way I feel about her, then she’s going to have to think again.

The only thing I need to know about her heart right now is that I hold a piece of it.

I can tell she’s worried, and I’ve got a feeling she’s expecting me to walk away. I don’t blame her for her insecurity surrounding what she’s just shared with me. I can’t even begin to imagine everything she’s been through. It literally brings a tear to my eye to imagine that she must feel that way for a reason – that people must have steered clear of her in the past due to something she has not an ounce of control over.

I’ve had people avoid me too – leave me all alone, so I sort of understand what it’s like… but I also know that’s on me – I didn’t give anyone a reason to stay. Violet gives people all the reasons in the world.

I may not have known her for a huge amount of time, but it didn’t take long to figure out what kind of a person she is.

She’s open, kind, strong, warm and loving… I know I’m not the first person to feel this kind of love from Violet, but I think that maybe I might be the only man whom she’s not related to that’s ever been allowed to get this close, and that’s not an honour I’ll take lightly.

Her lips are still on mine and she’s kissing me back with the fervour of someone who might never get another chance.

That’s when it hits me that it’s probably exactly the way she feels.

She’s just laid everything out bare for me – literally put her heart on the line and I haven’t said a word about it.

I undoubtedly know it changes nothing about the way I feel for her, but she doesn’t know that yet.

I pull back, breaking our kiss but she’s not done, she has the front of my shirt fisted in her hand and it pains me to think she’s holding on for dear life.

“Violet,” I murmur against her lips as she kisses me again.

Her breath is heavy as she releases me before resting her forehead against mine.
