By: Andi Rhodes

Narrated by: Caleb Schroeder

Griffin...

I loved her for years but she never loved me back. When she was taken, I snapped. Now she’s back and not herself. She’s an empty shell of the woman I knew. But I still love her. Her demons are many, and I want to slay every one. Problem is, she thinks she’s too broken.

Brie...

He never knew I loved him. I made sure of that. Then I was taken and made unloveable. My past hadn’t prepared me for the hell I was put through. I’d wanted to die, but he wouldn’t let me. No matter what I did, he made sure to save me. He says he loves me and that he always will. Problem is, I’m too broken to love him back.
