章 28: Chapter 28: Forever Isn’t Enough

I was dancing with the devil, that was the most certain thing in my life.

As I read that text, I just closed my eyes and tried to find my happy place in my mind. The moments I had with Aiden. But they weren’t there.

Fear exceeded love for the first time.

I wasn’t aware of time, but when I looked around myself, I saw daylight. The night was over.

I got up, took a shower and left without talking to Di. I had no energy to say even one word.

I headed to the office, again, talking to no one. I closed myself in my room at work.

But I wasn’t even thinking, I was in a void. The defense mechanism I had in my body was working, I guessed.

I texted Max.

"I’m at the office."

"I’ll be there in thirty minutes."

He kept his promise. Around thirty minutes later, he was in my office.

He wore a gray t-shirt and black jeans. He looked like he hadn’t slept for a week and his yellow hair was messy.

"Hi, Lara," he sat down on the couch slowly.

"Hey," I murmured while looking down.
