Where I’m small and curvy, Travis is one bulky giant. He’s older too, nearly twice my age. Despite all the opposites, my heart has it in for the man.

Except, all it takes is one friendly event to realize that maybe my feelings for this man aren’t just my own. Maybe Travis is interested too. He’s keeping me within arm's length and his eyes won’t leave my direction. It’s almost a tease, really.

I came to watch a band play, and now I’m being carried off by a man with a security uniform. That’s what happens when I get injured by doing something so reckless.

I want forever... moreI came to watch a band play, and now I’m being carried off by a man with a security uniform. That’s what happens when I get injured by doing something so reckless.
