brushing the backs of my fingers. “I know, baby,” he whispered just for me.“Everything will always be okay, no matter what. You know why?”We stepped out of the building, right into one of New York’soverwhelming summer days.“Why?”“Because it’s you and me.” He smiled down at me then, meeting my gazewith the conviction his words held. Just as he held my heart in his hands. Mylove. My whole world. Confidently and completely. “And no matter whatcomes our way, we have each other.” That Aaron smile, which was just forme and never failed to make my heart skip a beat, widened. “We are in thistogether, for the long run.”The End
A B O U T T H E A U T H O RElena is a Spanish writer, a self-confessed hopeless romantic and much Mr. B’s dismay, a proud bookhoarder. After years of devouring stories and posting––okay fine, yelling––about them on herInstagram @thebibliotheque, she has finally taken the leap and started creating some of her own.While she'd never describe herself as adventurous, having a degree in chemical engineering and beingthe Monica of her group of friends, this definitely qualifies as the most exciting yet terrifying projectshe has ever taken on. She's probably biting her nails as you read this. Heck, she's probably full onfreaking out. But don't mind her, that's just a little of––hopefully healthy––stage fright.Regardless, she cannot wait to finally share her dream with you. To perhaps gush over HEAs together,and who knows, maybe fall a little more in love with love. Because isn't that the point on all of this?www.authorelenaarmas.com
