Play of Light
I lived in paradise, and I loved Spencer Pierce.
At fourteen, my life was perfect. The beach was my
playground, and the boy who stole my heart lived just around the corner. But
perfect never lasts. In one horrifying moment, I lost it all. My family was
destroyed, and the boy I believed in turned his back on me. Paradise became a
nightmare.
That was five years ago. Everything changed when we moved
from our home by the sea. I’ve changed, and I don’t like who I’ve become. I
miss the smiling, carefree beach girl who disappeared that terrible night. I
want to find her again. I want to face the people we ran from so long ago. Most
of all, I have to face Spencer. So I can prove that when he broke my heart, he
didn’t break me.
But when I see him again, Spencer Pierce is no longer the
boy from my memories. He’s now a man who could devastate me if I let him. He
watches me when he thinks I’m not looking. There’s regret written on his face
when he’s near. Each time I see him, my heart aches for what might have been,
and I think his does too. How can I convince myself I’m over him when I suspect
he never got over me?
