I wasn’t expecting it—a text from someone I’d never met.
Corey Foster is my number neighbor, and we have nothing in common. After weeks of texting, we become friends, confiding our deep dark secrets and building a bond I never thought could be possible.
I got scared, so I ghosted him.
Then Foster shows up. And he is looking for answers. I had to tell him why I dodged him.
Foster is a lot more forgiving than I would have been, and we grow even closer. But this isn’t over text, and our feelings are growing. Our chemistry in person is hotter than over the phone.
The problem is Foster has issues. And I don’t think I can trust him. But I want him. I’m prepared to go to battle for him. Love is a wild ride.
But I may not have the right armor for this fight.
I didn’t fall in love, it drop kicked me in the face.
We all fall in love.
And we all go through heart break.
It’s beautiful but it always ends. That’s why I don’t want any part of it.
I close my eyes hoping it will pass. When I open them back up—I’m still lost in it.
Love is the impact after the bang.
Love is going to destroy us.
I have never fit in.
Insignificant.
Quiet.
Alone. That’s me, Violet.
Wilder Elordi’s has always been a wreck.
Neglected.
Abused.
Broken.
He’s protected me since first grade. We aren’t just friends we are in love with each other.
But moving away for college changes everything.
Our love for each other is more than we know what to do with. It’s explosive and can’t be contained.
