Excerpt "You can't accept all of me, you don't even know half of me." "The little part I know of you, I have fallen in love with. Trust me, Alison, you can bring the worst in you and I would still love you." Love? Slowly she jerked away from her wrist from his hold, he seemed a bit surprised by her action. The last time she accepted love from someone, he broke her into irreplaceable fragments. Called her ugly, fat. He left her and her daughter. Just give yourself the chance to love again... Love destroyed her, love broke her. No matter how her heart yearns to love back, she is scared. Scared of losing it for the last time, scared of being the one suffering. She flicked her gaze back to him, "You can't love me Leonardo. You shouldn't," she replied softly.
