The city skyline stretched out before her, the bright lights flickering in the distance like a mirage. Cambria sat at her desk, staring out over the metropolis, but her mind was elsewhere caught in the whirlwind of emotions that had been storming inside her since her last conversation with Maddox.
She had thought she could walk away from him. She had told herself it was for the best that she needed to protect herself from the man who had broken her heart. And yet, now, as the hours passed and the silence between them grew louder, she couldn't shake the feeling that she was making a mistake. Could she ever truly walk away from him? From everything they had once been?
Her phone buzzed again, interrupting her thoughts. Another message from Maddox. She had almost forgotten the weight of the words he had sent her the night before.
"I can't stop thinking about you, Cambria. I know I don't deserve a chance, but I won't stop fighting for you."
