Prologue

If I could’ve just gotten it back, whatever it was that was lost…then I would’ve done it in a heartbeat. I would’ve given anything just to have that back. And yet, I was sure that it was an impossible wish. That day, as I looked back at him, I could see it already. I’d lost him. The tears that came down afterwards said what I couldn’t say in words. They expressed that feeling of loss that is impossible to replicate.

I locked you away in my heart from then on. Wishes are just that, wishes. And I knew mine would never come true.

Or at least, so I thought.
