Addiction

She should never have been mine.
Tucker
Ella came as collateral.
A guarantee that Bennett would pay.
She was never supposed to be anything more.
But feelings bloom fast in the forest,
And the visceral connection between us
Was impossible to deny.
I’m the monster who made her mine,
But I can’t abandon Ella to her father’s fate.
I couldn’t let her go,
Even if I wanted to.
There’s no way to break an addiction this strong.
