Chapter One

"Baby girl, I was so wrong for thinking that you were something I could ever live without. I thought everything I wanted was back in that town, but it's hard to live with only half of my heart. It took me long enough but I finally woke up. It's you, Elle... it's always been you. It doesn't matter how hard I try, I don't know how not to think about you"
