Excerpt:


“You’re right, Ang. I can’t tell you I’m in love with you. I don’t even know if I’m capable of love again. Frankly, my heart is still in pieces. All I can promise you is right now. That I won’t let you go through this alone. Those are my babies too and I want them. I want you. More than I’ve wanted anything in a long time. You’re like…. God, Ang, you’re like watching the sun rise for the first time. It’s beautiful and breathtaking. All I want is to stay here in this moment. But this”—he held his arms out from his sides, indicating the whole of him—“this is all I’ve got. Just me. Kind of broken, a little uncertain and probably doing everything wrong, but what I’ve got…is all yours.”



It surprised him how much he meant it.



She didn’t say anything, merely stared at him, looking confused and uncertain. He dared to close the distance between them and lightly pressed his body against hers. He reveled at the feel of her there as he stared into her eyes, searching for that place inside of her where they connected.



Her breathing hitched. Her heart raced against his chest in time with his own. But she didn’t protest, didn’t push him away. He took that as a positive sign. He cupped her cheek in his palm, stroked his thumb along her lower lip, his gaze following for a moment before he looked back up at her. “You make me happier than I’ve been in a long time, Ang.”


Question for You:
A Second Chance at Forever begins with two people stepping outside their comfort zones, which is exactly what I was doing when I began this story. I was taking a chance on something that was new for me at the time. Have you ever done that? Had to step outside of your comfort zone, only to end up in a place you didn’t expect? How’d it turn out?
