DYING TO LIVE

“Look at me,” he says softly. I suck in a breath and match his expectant stare. “You can be vulnerable with me, Avalon.” My mind races in suit with my heart. “I’m terrified,” I admit. “So am I,” he agrees, his voice only a whisper now. “But I think you’re worth it.” * Avalon Stone is a twenty-three-year-old software engineer whose world has just been turned upside down. After finding out she is sick AND seeing her fiance in bed with another woman, Avalon embarks on a series of hilarious dates to get over her ex and live life to the fullest. This is when she meets Alexander Woods, the mysteriously handsome bartender with a dark secret. As the clock ticks and their love unravels, forces threaten to pull the two apart. Will Alexander save Avalon, or will she crumble to ash? Dying to Live is created by Halle Rae, an eGlobal Creative Publishing author.

Chapter Twenty-Three | Alexander

I make my way down the familiar dim-lit street, flashing back to when I was carrying Avalon to her mother’s house only a few days prior. The route seems so different now.

This morning when I saw her name on my caller id, my heart stopped for a moment. I was flooded with the fear that she wouldn’t want me anymore - I was too unreliable for no good reason. I can’t justify my absence without sounding clinically insane, but I can do my best to win back the girl who stole my heart.

Avalon invited me over around nine o’clock this morning, which gave me just enough time to rehearse in the mirror. I want to say what I’m feeling without making a complete a*sshole out of myself. As I get closer to her mother’s house, one thing rings true in my mind - Avalon Stone is the kind of person you fight for.
