Chapter 107

Maddox's door step is where she would wait and wait some more. It was when rain started to pour down and the sun was long gone, that Ava wondered if Maddox was even coming back. She had been sitting in the heavy pouring rain for nearly an hour when, Maddox's truck pulled up, the lights of his car shining on Ava's shivering form.

Maddox got out of his car, his clothes becoming wet within seconds. Maddox stood inches before Ava, their breath mingling together and becoming visible in the cold weather.Their hands twitched, yearning to touch the other, to grasp on to something to know that it was real. But when Ava looked up at Maddox, her heart fell to her stomach. She knew that look from five years before.
