We made love in his warm bed, clutching one another, speaking no words because the feelings did all the talking.

I love you, he said with his eyes.

I'm confused, I said with mine.

When the clock struck midnight, he kissed me so deeply that I lost all sense of the world around me.

"Happy New Year, baby," he whispered in the darkness.

I smiled and wrapped my arms around his neck, my naked body flush against his, radiating heat and fire. In that moment, it felt that nothing could ever go wrong, that no one could ever take this away from us.

I was wrong.

What makes a great story is conflict and crises that may crush the MC, or the struggle and sacrifice the MC needs to surpass them. Now for the 'crucible'?

Alright. After 3 parts I finally found a bone of contention to pick with this story. Before they go to Chipotle, they say it's just before 10 AM. Then she says the Chipotle is only 5 minutes from his place. Chipotle isn't open at 10! They don't open until like 11! SCOFF I hope whoever allowed this oversight through lost their job!

It's a great story by a talented writer so far. I'm just having a little bit of trouble connecting with the main character. I'm not usually a fan of women either in real life or in stories who profess to have no interest in marriage or kids. I like women who want to settle and start a family. I'm hoping that her non maternal ways are a result of her trauma and as she heals she'll decide she wants a different path after all. Especially since the beginning of the story made it pretty clear that in actuality she despises her job and the corporate rat race, she straight out states that she's only doing it at this point to "rub society's face in it". I hope by the end of the story she decides to seek something that's more meaningful than spite.

Now that, was a roller coaster of emotions. What a talent you have, thanks again for sharing.

The time and emotional energy that it took to write this series boggles the mind. We care about these people, we want them to be happy without suffering any more. We can only hope that the ominous portent in those closing three words proves to be a detour, not their journey's end.
