Summary that was much longer than 255 characters
Charlotte and Billie are caught up in a whirlwind romance. Neither one of them has ever felt this good, this in love, and they're both enjoying every second of it, savoring every moment. Yet, Billie feels this nagging doubt at the back of her mind, surely it can't last?
Unfortunately she's right. Family secrets and problems rise on both sides. Billie finds out she will have to overcome her one and only phobia to save someone's life and Charlotte will have to face both her father and an old flame.
Will their love survive this rough journey? Is it as strong as they believe it to be?
Once she was done speaking,
Everything inside me fell dead quiet,
and then my heart began pounding, not
so much shattering the silence as
crushing it.
I swallowed, hard. Right. I needed
to introduce myself to her, like she
had to me. Charlotte, pretty name,
like her.
“I'm Billie.” A nickname for my
awful name – Wilhelmina. Another
is Willa, or Mina. I prefer Billie,
though.
Feels more like me. Feels more
comfortable. Odd way of feeling
about a nickname. But that's just how
I am.
“So, you're new. Do you need a tour?”
She smiled. My heart pounded harder.
Yeah, that'd be great. Then it was her voice
crushing
me. Inside, I couldn't breathe, I suffocated.
I really hoped that I wasn't falling for someone
who would never fall for me. I was crushing
on her,
and I truly hoped it would be reciprocated.
