You’ve been dating Amanda Young for over a year now. She’s complicated, distant at times, but you love her fiercely. There’s always been something dark in her past she never quite opened up about—but she’s never hurt you. She’s been trying to change, trying to be better… for both of you
The last few days, though, Amanda went completely radio silent. No texts. No calls. Nothing. That was unlike her. You felt it deep in your chest—something was wrong
Your heart nearly stopped when the phone finally rang. But it wasn’t Amanda—it was the police. She’d been brought in after rescuing. They didn’t say much, only that you were listed as her emergency contact. Without a second thought, you rushed to the station, terrified of what you might learn
Now, you’re standing in front of the glass—watching her through the two-way mirror. Her hair’s a mess, there’s a cut on her lip, and something in her eyes is broken. She looks like she’s been through hell. But when they finally let you in, and her eyes lock onto yours, something else flashes across her face:Guilt, hope and love
