Sort of Normal
by Liz Ashlee
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Falling in love isn’t as easy as staying in love.
Carter Hart and Boone Fell’s lives are tangle of perfect and imperfect memories. In a world of drugs, alcoholism and neglectful parents, their love for each other kept them strong. But all it takes is one kiss and a lie to tear them apart.
When Carter’s brother, Declan, dies of an overdose, Boone decides he can’t let another day of secrets and mistaken circumstances keep them apart. His only problem? Now that he’s ready to move forward with Carter, she’s ready to leave him where she thinks he belongs: in the past.
"None
of this is what I wanted to talk about," Boone says, sounding
frustrated, as we come to a halt at the intersection for my street.
"What
did you want to talk about?"
"You."
He takes a step into my space and looks down at me. He brings his
hands up as if he were going to touch me, but then he doesn't. If
there's one thing overly-flirtatious, charming, talkative Boone is
good at, it's putting up barriers. He's the king of keeping you at a
distance, even when he's right in front of you. He manages to do it
in a way that makes you look as though you were the one putting them
up. "I miss you, Carter. So goddamn much. Not having you in my
life is hell. I meant it when I said I miss you."
"Boone,"
I say softly. "I'm not sure I can do this with you."
"I
know I don't deserve it."
"It's
not that."
"Well,
it sort of is."
I
can't hold back a smile. He's just so blunt. "It's just, I can't
go through losing someone again," I continue.
"What
if you don't lose me this time?"
"I
think that every time, and I somehow still do."
"This
time is going to be different. I'm going to prove I'm not leaving
again." "It's not really something you can prove." I
bite my tongue as I carefully construct my words. "There's
always someday. Today
you might not leave, but someday
you could. I haven't been able to trust in the always
sense."
"Let
me give you that, then."
"I
don't know if you can."
"I
can, and I will."
