"No... of course not," he murmured, closing his eyes briefly as he exhaled a deep breath. Skylar's voice wavered slightly as he responded, his words tinged with a hint of sadness. "Like you said, I've never been with anyone before. And I don't think it will change even with this engagement..." he mustered a forced smile, hoping to conceal the ache that resided within him.
The sudden question had momentarily diverted his thoughts from the relentless nightmare that had plagued him. However, it also unearthed another tender wound that he had yet to heal.
Skylar carried the weight of unspoken pain in his heart, a reminder of a past love that had left him broken.
Just like Starla, Skylar once gave his heart to someone whom he could only dream of.
He gave his whole heart... not knowing it would only get crushed to pieces.
