A promise made …
I should never have made that promise. I should never have thought I could leave the past behind me. I broke our pact, and deep down, I always knew I couldn’t stay hidden forever.
A promise broken …
I thought she loved me. We made a deal. We crossed our hearts and hoped to die and sealed it with a kiss. We were going to be together forever. Vows like that cannot be broken. And so now she has to pay.
Try and tear yourself away – we dare you.
