Kapitel 3: An Irresistible Draw

I stood on the porch of my ranch, watching the fencing guys and Liu Wei leaving. Even long after the cars had disappeared, I refused to move.

There was something about him… about Liu Wei, that made me feel safe. It was like there was a tether connecting me to him, and all I wanted to do was run into his arms and refuse to leave.

It felt like I wanted to bare my soul to him, to tell him anything and everything…

I wanted to collapse into his arms, crying and screaming at how unfair everything was. I wanted to tell him that I needed him beside me and that he was never allowed to leave me again. I wanted to lean on him, knowing that he would make everything better…

But I couldn't do it. I wouldn't do it.
