April Blues

GIADA AMARANTHE FIORE I never meant to rely on Alistair Gervasi. Our night together was supposed to be a mistake. But when he offered to help me, I had no choice but to trust him. I was still running from my father, from everything familiar, and Alistair was the only person willing to stay beside me. In the small city where we hid, people started to notice us. Whispers followed us everywhere, and trouble somehow always found its way to our door. But even with danger circling around us, Alistair made me feel safer than I had felt in years. Too safe. Safe enough that my heart began betraying me, little by little. I fell for him…quietly, uncontrollably. And when we spent another night together, it felt like something real was finally happening between us. Something I didn’t even know I was allowed to have. But the next morning… he changed. Alistair grew cold. Distant. As if the night before meant nothing. Now I’m left wondering what hurt more, the danger following me… or Alistair walking away like I was just someone he never should have touched.
