Chapter 108 Father's Threat

JORDAN
Something warm and soothing seemed to be coursing through my veins, spreading through my heart. The excitement and peace I felt were so foreign, different, and completely worth it. I had traveled and waited for a long time to feel what I felt within me. I had lived out my life in darkness and loneliness, scared that it would never be worth living if I never had Samantha close by. I chuckled darkly and ran my hands through my hair as I finally found it fitting to pull my eyes away from the sleeping beauty cuddled up tightly against a pillow on the bed.
It was already morning, and I had only come back up to drop a note beside her since I had to rush off to work. Seeing how I left the previous day, I would want to work and get a lot of unfinished things done, but I could not bring myself to leave without saying something to her. When I had dropped the note, I found myself trapped within the beauty she possessed. How did I ever think that I was never going to overcome? How did I ever think that I would never get a life? How did I ever allow my love for Samantha to drain the life out of me that I no longer saw anything good or worth living for, anything worth being happy for?
