![]() My Forever
-- EXCERPT: It suddenly felt as if the entire room stopped to turn and look in my direction. Slowly, I let my gaze travel over the rest of the room. That was when I realized this wasn’t any ordinary night out at the bar. The streamers and signs congratulating Lena Clarkson on her album’s success hung in the distance. I blinked, and Lena Clarkson herself stood before me. I knew her music well and was a big fan. Under any ordinary circumstance, I would’ve been elated to meet her. This wasn’t an ordinary situation. I could feel Gabriel’s eyes on me, but even his glare wasn’t what had my heart pounding and my blood pressure rising. I could feel his brother nearby. Ace was somewhere in the room. The way the hairs on my arms and neck stood up and the zap of electricity in my stomach were my indications. It astounded me that, even after all of these years, I could still feel him whenever we were in the same room. I wouldn’t allow myself to look around to search for him. No matter how much I wanted to see his face. I kept my gaze on Lena. “Oh, I’m sorry, I didn’t realize this was a party.” I paused, forcing myself to remember why I was standing there in the first place. Aiden. My subconscious whispered to me, reminding me. I blinked. “I-I just need some help.” I didn’t know why I phrased it that way. I meant to ask for a phone. But before I could correct myself, Lena moved closer, her face taking on a concerned expression. “Hi, it’s not a problem. Are you from around here?” she asked. “What’s your name?” I opened my mouth to answer but got interrupted. “Savannah.” Ace’s voice pierced through the crowd and music. He pushed past his younger brother and Lena, barreling down on me. “She’s my wife.” My breathing halted altogether. The edge in his tone was so cold it could’ve iced over a Texas summer. ![]()
