Page 88 of Resisting Fate (Hope Falls: Brewed Awakenings 3)

Audrey didn’t know what to say. She’d never heard Josh speak this much in her life, especially about his feelings, much less his feelings for her. It was a lot to take in. “Josh, I…”

“Wait, I’m not done. I want you to see something.” He reached behind him and pulled out three spiral notebooks like the one that had fallen on the floor when she was putting the coloring away.

What was it with people and showing her notebooks today?

“My doctor told me when I was feeling anxious to write down what was in my head. So, I did.” He set them in front of Audrey.

“Do you want me to…?”

He nodded.

She opened it up to a random page.

Ladybug

You flit into my life

Landing on my heart

So beautiful

So delicate

Like a sunshine ray

I don’t breathe

I don’t speak

I don’t move

For fear that you’ll fly away

She turned another page.

Blink

My eyelids shut and I curse them

For those seconds they stole

The time they took from me

Not able to gaze upon your beauty

Your face

Your lips

Your smile

There is nothing more perfect

More sacred

More captivating

Just you
